It is _supposed_ to be, but 2TB requires 2^32 sectors, so the entire path through filesystem, elevator and device driver must be 32-bit clean or it won't work. In practice, people have found enough places where a sector gets stored as a signed int that it's not really safe to rely on 2TB on 2.4 yet. It may work on some devices. 1TB fits in a signed int just fine.
