Exactly.

Not only. ext3 is badly suited for notebooks, as ext3 has a forced
commit every some (30?) seconds, even if there were no changes at
all. Because of that, harddrives will never go to sleep when ext3
is used.

Next bad thing about ext3 is, that the journal is at just one "tiny" spot.
This might break harddrives faster, as the harddrive will read and
write to just one spot *very* often.

How about resizing? Does ext3 support growing the fs while it's
online (== mounted)?
