Actually if you have direct access to FLASH device (e.g. through MTD),
then you really want to look at jffs2. Besides being journalled, it also
provides data compression (which is invaluable for such small storage sizes)
and flash wearing control (or what is the name for facility that controls that
certain areas of flash are not written to more often then other ones).
