There is no such specific limitation. There are some bugs in 1.4 for
"large" volumes in general, but not around the 2TB mark specifically.
And there is a problem with space reporting for volumes and partitions
larger than 2TB, but they still work (except when you try to write to
them via a modern Windows client).

All of those I consider just plain bugs; while the fixes for many are
only on 1.6, that's just because there hasn't been a 1.4 release in a
long time; it's not an architectural limitation that was lifted in 1.6.
The fixes I'm thinking of would be easy to apply to a 1.4 server.
