I have friends that work with embedded hardware and tested CF and NAND devices with ext3, and their experience is that on flash devices which don't implement leveling properly, after one day the system became unbootable because of I/O errors in the journal. Yes, this qualifies as hearsay for everyone except me who got the news directly from the source, so feel free to ignore me. However, I trust my source enough to object to having ext3 as the default or the suggested file system in Debian setups.
