[jornada] [with repl. ROM] JFFS2 on CF card?

Hello,

currently, my CF card is accessed as a normal IDE device - it
has two partitions, one of which holding an ext3 file system.
I understand that this is all you can get using HPCboot.

I have read that a "normal" file system such as ext2 quickly uses up
the life time of the CF card and that a journalling file system such
as ext3 makes it even worse. Is this true?

If so, using an JFFS2 file system on the flash card would be a major
improvement. I have looked into the "mtd-jffs-HOWTO.txt" from
infradead.org. Is the way described there the correct one for this
situation? Is the CF card a "Disk On Chip Device" or a "Raw Flash"?

Should I / how can I use JFFS2 on my CF card?

Thanks in advance,

    Peter
