Hi all!



I'm looking which file system to use fro linux running from CF drive. Is there any reason not to use ext2 (read-only) ?

Don't use ext3 'cos of the write overhead.

Ext2 is fine. If you need to transfer files from/to PCs, add a small fat partition. We usually put fat on 1 and ext2 on 2.

if it's just an read-only, CFS will be better.
