There is a major difference between ext3 and ext4 which is called "delayed
(block) allocation." Delayed allocation of blocks increases the risk of
data loss in certain circumstances. While ext3 typically syncs cache to
disk every 5s, it can take 2min with ext4.

This is really a Linux question, but since it is specifically about embedded
systems, I'm hoping this group is a good place to ask.
My application is based on an Atom, with a small USB flash drive (SLC) for
its storage. I'm trying to decide what file system to use. The application
doesn't do a lot
