Unable to increase disk size above 2 TB

[PascalTemel]

Description

I'm trying to increase my docker disk size to 5 TB (the size of the external drive that it's stored on), however, docker desktop does not let me increase it to more than 2 TB. My internal system storage drive is 1 TB, so it's not limited by that. Is 2 TB a known limitation? Is there a workaround for it?

Reproduce

1. Open docker desktop, go to the resources tab and try to increase the disk usage limit.

Expected behavior

The disk usage limit should match the size of the drive that it's stored on.
