How large is your hard drive exactly and is it a real IDE hard drive
or some kind of flash? If the disk/flash is very small, ext3 may be a
bad choice since it's a journalling file system which means that a)
it'll take up quite a significant portion of space on a small drive
and b) it'll write to the same sectors all the time, which will kill
the flash in no time.
