2TB is greater than 1TB, so yes, it can not be one file system. it COULD (and probably SHOULD) be multiple file systems on one array. I can think of lots of apps which might need more than 1TB. I can't think of many apps which need more than 1TB now that might not some day need more than 10TB. It is probably easier to bolt-on new partitions later than to rebuild on a new array later. Plan for multiple partitions now... Nick.
