Dear all

does anybody know how large a filesystem you can create with ext3 and what
file sizes it can handle?


The maximum file size you can create with ext3 is 16GiB to 2TiB

Also, any comments or thoughts regarding using ext3/jfs/xfs would be
appreciated.


Look at http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/388 it's an article
about filesystems (ext3, reiser, xfs, jfs) comparison on Debian Etch, but
maybe it's interesting for you even if you're not using Debian

Cheers

Manuel.
