Google for "linux large disk support" or "large file support". Or just ask Google. IIRC, they've more than 2 TiB total storage. Depending on your hardware, you may need to enable a number of kernel parameters at build time. You can find these in /usr/src/linux/Documentation/Configure.help (typically). Your own kernel's build options, if a stock Debian kernel, are in your /boot directory. 32 bit hardware doesn't natively address sizes > 2 GiB, but a number of large file / filesystem support mechanisms exist to support very large filesystems. The filesystem itself is likely a significant factor here. Note that some limitations may be imposed by BIOS, though once GNU/Linux itself has booted, these shouldn't be a concern.
