If all you need is Linux support, I guess ext2 would be the best choice. Journaling would not make since, at least not with SUSE 9.2 because it mounts with the SYNC option that defeats the whole purpose of a jorunal.
As I said, the mounting and unmounting are handled by the system (some function of subfs, automount and possibly SuSEPlugger, too--as I said, I don't really understand this stuff at all).
I'd suggest against a journaled system, largely because of the extra disk writes. Flash can be read a lot, but can't be written to indefinitely, and adding journaling just increases the writes. As an aside, I'm amazed at how well the newest kernels handle USB devices. --Danny, running cramfs on his compact-flash cards (the CPU time to decompress is more than offset by the bandwidth savings to the card), but they're used for a different purpose (booting a car mp3 player, etc)
