I looked again and then double checked with Chris and reiserfs (v3 at least) is
block based.  I can look through all the other block based fs's if you like and
see if any others do this, but like I said I hit all the ones that I could think
of that are commonly used and reiser was the only one that doesn't map multiple
blocks at once.  Thanks much,
