According to this page, yes:
http://www.gelato.unsw.edu.au/IA64wiki/LargeBlockDevices

"It seems a little silly that on a processor with an 18 petabyte
address space, that Linux was limited to less than 2TB of disc per
device, especially as there are readily available RAID arrays in the 4
to 8 TB range. The main limitation (still there in 2.4 kernels) was
that the size of a disc was held in a 32-bit signed int, in 1k units."
