Flash Drive questions

[Lorenzo Taylor]

I would recommend using ext2 rather than ext3 on a flash drive. Unless there 
have been major changes over the last couple of years, flash drives and 
journaling filesystems don't mix very well. Of course I stand to be corrected, 
but it seems that a journal causes a lot of unnecessary writes which can cause 
undue wear on a flash drive.
