ITYF it's actually 1GB/file.
think twice about this. ext2/3 get slow when they fill up (they have fragmentation problems when free space gets too small), this 5% that only root can use also serves as a buffer against that as well.
It makes sense to me that the usage pattern of Postgres would be much less susceptible to causing fragmentation than normal filesystem usage. Has anyone actually tested this and found out?
