Hi Not sure if this is significant, just doing the EdX intro to Linux course (free route, so no certificate), it says the following regarding file systems Conventional disk filesystems: ext2, ext3, ext4, XFS, Btrfs, JFS, NTFS, etc. Flash storage filesystems: ubifs, JFFS2, YAFFS, etc. Would it need a different file system for Flash storage systems ? Or as this is being used as bootable system with persistence would you just stick with for example a conventional system despite being on a flash disk.
