Oh, i see. I was wrong then. Thank you for pointing that.

If SD firmware is "not clever enough" to expect anything that is not FAT
— I remember hearing about devices, that corrupt headers of other
filesystems because they excepted nothing but FAT.
It is also recommended to switch journaling off, because it would cause
additional writes. And this would not only wear the device, but also
likely not be of any help in event of sudden power loss because of some
internal details of SD firmware.

Now I again expect experts to fix my opinion ;D.
