JFS should work for big file systems. I tested it some time ago
with a >10 TB holey loopback file and there were no problems.
In theory there should not be a 2TB limit on block devices for the 64bit
kernel, but details depend on your driver etc (i could well imagine
drivers not being 64bit clean). We haven't tested if this works in 9.0.
What you could do is to check if the access to the block device works
at all. e.g. write some known pattern to the block device and read it again.
Do that first with the RAID directly (without LVM) and then with the LV.
