I haven't seen actual concrete (i.e. not just hearsay or theoretical)
reasons to prefer ext2 to ext3 on flash.

jffs2 would be stupid on the microSD. It's very inefficient (it can't
run directly on the microSD, you need to go through a block2mtd layer,
leading to a significant inefficiency). I do use it on my "Debian USB
Live", but only for its compression (it's the only well-supported
compressing read-write filesystem I could find for Linux).
I only mentioned jffs2 because it's what's used when you install on
the NAND.

/etc/init.d/zhone-session. AFAIK it's how it was setup by the
install.sh file, I didn't fiddle with it (other than to tell it to use
a non-root user).
