Hi Tony,

I hadn't appreciated that the issue was this complex.  I'd avoided ext3
on the basis that journaling on flash media was liable to wear the thing
out as well as slowing it down, but obviously the Ubuntu developers have
reason to think otherwise.

I'd still be wary of running any serious work from a 4-quid USB stick
hanging out of the side of my machine, no matter how reliable you can
make the software side of things.

TIM
