Subject: Maximum (efficient) partition sizes for various filesystem types...

Hi everyone,
Have just put a new 30GB hard drive for my server at home, and am wondering
what the optimal sizes for partitioning are.
For instance, the Debian guide says that, due to Ext2 efficiency, partitions
greater than 6-7GB shouldn't be created. Is this true for Ext3/ReiserFS.
Am also not sure which file systems to choose. I'm planning on having a 3GB
parition for the actual system, and formatting this using ReiserFS
(generally smaller files). However, is Reiser also a good choice for
download archives (where average file size is about 5-10MB) still a good
choice?
Joel
