That's no solution. You'll just corrupt the rest of the filesystem instead, with no information about what parts of the filesystem might be damaged. For simple "media goes offline" / power outage cases, journal=data should be enough to preserve the integrity of the device. For altered-data cases (that I sure hope won't happen with regular USB sticks!), you'll need something that adds redundancy, i.e. some kind of single-device RAID5. I don't know of anything in the Linux kernel that would provide this kind of thing (for regular block devices, not raw NAND access).Some discussion on irc of possible solutions [to ext3 problems]:We should be using ext2, not ext3, in the future so that we don't have a journal to corrupt.
