You journal should be able to hold the writes for a short period of 
time, something like 10 ~ 20 seconds.

If your machine is on a 1Gbit line it will do something like 100MB/sec 
of writes.

100MB * 20 seconds = 2000MB

So a journal of something like 2GB should be enough.

You can always scale it bigger to 4GB, that won't hurt anything.

So it doesn't depend on the size of your data disk, but depends on how 
fast the writes are coming in.
