Linux is not limited in and of itself as to the size of it's hard disk. However, the file systems it uses all have different maximum capacities.
ext3 - 32 TB
ReiserFS - 16 TB
XFS - 1 PB
JFS - 16 TBs
FAT32 - 1 TB.
Since a hard drive can be divided into more than one partition, there is no real limit as to how large of one you can use.

What is block in Linux?
Block is a generic OS concept. Whenever OS wants to read data from the hard disk, file system tries to read a block of data instead of one character at a time. This improves the performance. (disk is a mechanical device) Size of the block varies for each file system, user can specify the block size when a file system is created on the device. Creating a file system on Linux is equivalent to formating a device on Windows. When you format a device on windows you can specify the block size. To create a file system on Linux mkfs command is used. The default block size is 4K but this can be modified with -b option. For eg. $ mkfs -t ext2 -b 2048 /dev/sdb1 this command will create ext2 file system on the device with block size 2048. There is a limitation imposed on maximum size of block by ex2/3/4 file system. Maximum block size should be 4K and minimum is 512 bytes.
