At home I have a 44 GB disk mounted and made with ext2
and at work I have a 1.05 TB disk array that at one time was mounted with
no problems after doing a mke2fs -m0 to it.
I have done this with ext2, reiserfs, and BSD ffs, and all of them
worked fine for > 1TB sizes.
LVM or the raidtools will let you combine drives in linux.
The limit isn't normally size, but how many drives you can have
in an array/pool set.
YMMV.
