Yaouh! out (update for tangogps maps)

[William Kenworthy]

its not nonsense - ext2/3 is vastly overrated - However, I am aware that
its very much dependent on your use case.  And in my use case, Ive been
bitten too many times.  

Never heard that ext3 is good for small files - the opposite in fact as
it doesnt do tail packing (so can waste huge amounts of space), and has
limited number of inodes available - which limit I ran into.  Ive since
reformatted with the maximum, but that is supposed top cause performance
problems though I have not measured how much its slowed the FR down.

I am worried about the future for Reiserfs, but apparently work was
continuing when I last checked.
