That's what's been posted here in the past, yes. Becase CF mimics ATA hard
drives, you need to use a hard-drive file system. I don't yet have a CF
myself, altho' I'm really feeling the lack and am planning to correct this
shortly. :-)

This is an answer I, too, am curious about. I've seen a lot of people talk
about just using ext2, but that seems like a bad idea for Flash. I'm
curious as to whether ReiserFS (or another journaling FS) is a better idea...
