Well since only ext3 is supported by the preinstalled kernel, it becomes the natural choice...
LogFS, nilfs, and btrfs would be interesting from a performance point of view, but none of them work that well, atleast not when I tested them last autumn..

ext3...
... or ext4 WITHOUT extents.
(since with extents it's no longer backward compatible and can not be used as ext3 fs)
so i think that n900 will mount it as ext3 and other unix-OSs as ext4 (with all improvements like online-defragmentation and checksums in journal)
edit: haven't tested it yet, but you could try it... and if it doesn't work reformat as ext3...
and of course... post your experiences here ^^

- It should have wear leveling or something to prevent it from going to waste too early.
ext3 serves me well on all my flash media and before I worry about wearing a medium out (a couple years at least) I generally have bought bigger media or the gadget it was used in got replaced/broke

What would be the best option? Ext4 or ext3 without journaling?
What are your thoughts on this?
Thanks
