Only if you have a very old one.

Linux 2.4 with, say, XFS can do up to 64TB, and I'd be very impressed if 
you can afford one of those. Later with 64-bit block devices it'll 
become something like 9 million TB.

Of course, the maximum filesystem size is only 2TB, which is something 
of a wet blanket, but that'll change. If you need to work around it, I 
suppose you can use DirectoryStorage.
