AFAIK, there is nothing intrinsic to dm-crypt that sets its maximum size differently than the rest of the kernel. That said, the 2TB block device limit is only in effect under 2.6 if you have a 32-bit kernel with CONFIG_LBD=n; otherwise your maximum block device size is 2^73. http://www.suse.de/~aj/linux_lfs.html - Linux-crypto: cryptography in and on the Linux system Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-crypto/
