embedded filesystem recommendation

AFAIK, it is possible to run jffs on a standard disk. But what would that et you ? There are lots of other journalling filer systems that provide roll-back mechanism without needing to take care of the flash internal page structure, like jffs needs to do.

Well, impress me how smart you are. What other filesystems? And what advantages do they get me?

ext3 and reiserfs come to mind.

Hi David,

to mine too :-). The big advantage of ext3 is, that it can always be mounted as ext2 without loosing any filesystem-information. So it can be accessed by any linux version since 0.9 :-). I cant see any advantages in using reiserfs.

The advantages of reiserfs depend on your needs - for some uses and some operations, reiserfs is very much faster than ext3. There are dozens of comparisons between reiserfs and ext3 (and xfs, and problably others) on the web, but be careful of bias and rumour - each system has it's share of supporters and detractors giving different viewpoints.
