Beagleboard -XM and 32GB microSD card oddities

I'm not really looking for a solution, just supplying some information
in case anyone is contemplating a >16GB card.

Using Ubuntu 11.04 ARM or x86_64, I cannot create an ext4 partition that
will mount. Doing fsck.ext4 appears to fix the filesystem, but rerunning
fsck.ext4 a second time gives the same errors.

Only BTRFS works.

A BTRFS partition can be created without a problem. I then use rsync to
copy across all the data from the 16GB (ext4) partition and it mounts
without errors. After the rsync I create the excluded directories proc,
sys, tmp, media.

I get a kernel oops (2.6.39-x1) on boot up of the 32GB card.
I'm still trying to figure why I'm getting the oops that I don't have on
the original 16GB card.
Regards
Sid.
