Sorry, I just wanted to chime in on one thing. While a journal |
| 10 |
probably will cause more flash wear, it also potentially adds data |
| 11 |
integrity. |

Now consider that the original message that started this whole thread |
| 14 |
was important files being stored on flash and being corrupted. |
| 15 |
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 |
| 18 |
out, especially with wear-leveling algorithms. |

Oh, and finally, if it matters that much, have a backup... |
