So, the place for the blob files must be, or only can be, in the same tree of jboss files where is the Repository Server. About the db, ok, it can be on another independent machine. The only issue I think in store blob outside the db is referente to backup methods. The blob in filesystem is faster to search and manipulate than if it is stored in a db.
