Just because the device is solid-state doesn't mean you should ignore
journaling. The host computer can still abort halfway through a write
and bork the filesystem.
That's what fsck is for. Seriously. What most journaled file systems gain
you is that you don't need to spend 20 min in fsck after a powerfailure,
just less than a minute in journal rollback. And besides: both ext2
and, if needed, e2fsck are extremly robust.
You're operating under the impression that e2fsck can fix all failures.
All of this is mitigated by using IBM Microdrives instead of solid-state CF.
