The use of a journaled filesystem though isn't optimal for certain environments (i.e., usb flash) where the lifetime of the media will be severely limited without wear leveling. The performance overhead for writing to the journal and disk also mitigates against the use of a journaled filesystem. If Kiwi could use the filesystem type specified for all partitions created (or add support for different filesystems on an individual basis with new schema options) it would offer greater control.
