Flash has limited writes in its lifetime. That is why we have special filesystems for flash [1],[2] (e.g. jffs2).
ext3 (due to its journalling) might not be good idea for Sd-card. I think ext2 would fare fine except that it might be left with corrupted FS in case improper shutdown but at least it would not impact the life of the card. On Mon, Oct 20, 2008 at 6:14 PM, Iain B.
