I'm using 2.6.1 and created a 1.5TB (1500GB) file with mksparse and published it.
On a W2K3 server using the MS Initiator 1.06 the published device only mounts as a 1023GB disk. I also tried the 2.6.1 version of Starport and achieved the same result.

Is this a limitation of StarWind or the Initiators?

Maximum supported volume size under current versions of Windows is 2TB. You current limitation hit seems to be a StarWind bug (there has been some other reports as well). We would check this. Thanks a lot for letting us know!

Yes, this is a limitation of that StarWind version. It have been removed in the recent version 2.6.3 that is going to be released this week.
Best regards,
