Only two (types) of 2T limit exists:
1) the driver or your storage limits to 2T (not much you can do...)
2) dos partition tables can by design not be larger than 2T (use either gpt or 
lvm on raw /dev/sdX)

There probably is a limit but I've done 80T in one vg with default c5 PE size 
so you're not likely to hit that with a <10T device...
