Windows Server NTFS Volume TB Limit?

[Guest]

Is there a limit on the size that an NTFS volume can be in Windows Server 2003?
If so, what is the limit?

I have a 15 Disk 300 GB fiber channel array and was advised to split it into
two partitions at the RAID level since there is a 2 TB volume limit in
Windows. I have not been able to find any supporting documentation to that
advisement other than XP. Can someone help?

Please email any replies to gabriels@lowen.com.

Hi,
I got that information from a colleague but you can look into the following
