> ranish shows a maximum size of 2 tb on the left top.

Thats right. That is a hard limit resulting from the used data type. 2^32 512 byte sectors leads to 2TB.

It MAY be possible to create partitions starting in the 2TB boundary and spanning across it, but the software is not able to access the sectors beyond 2TB. This could lead to all sort of errors, even completely destroying to the data by overwriting the first sectors of the disk when the sector number overflows.

HIGHLY recommending not doing it.
