Actually, it is common for "obvious" facts to be entirely incorrect.
-> ext3 wouldn't "die" with a file of that size; it supports files up
to about 2TB in size, and 8GB shouldn't be an "uncomfortable" size
-> PostgreSQL normally switches to a new file at 1GB intervals, so
that no file is ever larger than 1GB in size
That's not to say that ext3 would be my "favorite" for the purpose;
while I am not entirely decided as to the relative merits of JFS and
XFS, I'd generally prefer them to ext3.
