Sorry, I just wanted to chime in on one thing. While a journal probably will cause more flash wear, it also potentially adds data integrity. Now consider that the original message that started this whole thread was important files being stored on flash and being corrupted. Getting rid of the journal might not be the best move. Unless you have a LOT of writes to flash you're not going to wear it out, especially with wear-leveling algorithms. Oh, and finally, if it matters that much, have a backup... -- Rich
