Oh, i see. I was wrong then. Thank you for pointing that. > An efficient journaled filesystem not > designed for memory devices (like ext3) would be best. 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. _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
