You shouldn't need to use a larger block size even with a 300GB
filesystem.
I've personally created a 54 gigabyte filesystem at a Linux Kongress a
few years back, when I hooked up my laptop to a partially populated RAID
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
array at the vendor trade show.
(Make sure you turn on the sparse superblocks option if you're using a
2.1 kernel, though. At 300GBs, it's really important to turn on the
sparse superblock option if your kernel can support it, since a lot of
space is wasted otherwise.)
