The example in the manual shows mkfs.ext4. I don't think there should be any problem with it. > If I use an ext4 live-rw on a flash drive, is it recommended to disable > journaling? (If so, any pointers on how to do that?). Personally, I wouldn't bother disabling journalling, as even if it somewhat shortens write life of the device, I don't think the possibility of filesystem corruption is a good trade for going easier on my flash drives.
