Sorry Thomasz, for me this makes zero sense. There are _much_ better file
systems for block devices.

I think he refers to flash disks appearing as block devices, like
usb sticks or similar.

Right, I also meant that in my opinion it makes more sense to use traditional
file-systems like ext3 on USB-key/MMC and the like stuff (which I confusingly
referred as "block devices"), or may be something more "heavy-weight" like
XFS or JFS (never tried them, though).
