At least 16GB, usually 2 TB. Though those values were from Linux 2.4 times, so they may have been extended again.

Afaik, this still applies, to both ext2 and ext3. Max size depends on the partition block size, and for the common 4KB bs it's 2TB, as you say. E.g. for my root partition I find $ tune2fs -l /dev/sda1 | grep "Block size" Block size: 4096 For current stable, details here http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.25.y.git;a=blob;f... line 299 and following.
