Hi,
well with SF 6.1 & VXFS version 10 layout, it can support a filesystem upto 8 exabytes
To answer your question yes, max size of Lun is limited to max size of filesystem you can create however that value is in exabytes & I don't think you would have a single Lun with that size.
Here are supported filesystem sizes in SF 6.1
