Hi
Not sure if this is significant, just doing the EdX intro to Linux
course (free route, so no certificate), it says the following regarding
file systems
Conventional disk filesystems: ext2, ext3, ext4, XFS, Btrfs, JFS, NTFS, etc.
Flash storage filesystems: ubifs, JFFS2, YAFFS, etc.
Would it need a different file system for Flash storage systems ? Or as
this is being used as bootable system with persistence would you just
stick with for example a conventional system despite being on a flash disk.

Paul
