Are you mounting this partition locally or remotely?  If locally, there
are a few hard limits you might be running into.  2 TB is one of the
NTFS volume size limits, if that's any help.  I think it's the limit if
you format your NTFS partition with a 512 byte cluster size. It's also
the maximum partition size that partitioning schemes using the Master
Boot Record format support.
