Well, it *does* read ext2 and 3.
The magic incantation for mkfs is: -I 128, the inode size in the
older 2.4.20 kernel is 128 instead of 256.

No, you are referring to jffs2, which degrades over time. Yaffs2
is better. The current 2.4.20 kernel does a 20MB/s read from the
yaffs2 filesystem.

Yaffs2 is only inteaded for nandflash like interfaces, not for
block interfaces.

Personally I use ext3 on the sd cards. But don't forget the -I
128 ...
