Be careful in what you write here. Were you only able to create a 2TB partition? Or only a 2TB filesystem? Those are not the same thing. The output you gave (from df?) shows the filesystem size. To establish the size of the partition, you need to show the output of the disklabel command. How did you create the filesystem?
