Having to run fsck is going to be a problem with most filesystems.
If you use a file system like ext3/4 that has a journal if will
recover faster though, but they will give you slightly slower write
speeds and you'll loose space on on the journal itself. There is
also a lot of talk about the journal causing a lot of writes and
wearing out your flash drive, but I would think the wear leveling
would take care of that these days.<br>
The bottom line is that you shouldn't be pulling out drives without
unmounting them. I'd use something like ext2 if I were you and just
make sure you don't pull out the drive without unmounting it.<br>

<div dir="ltr">I was sitting here
considering how one names drives. I
did it once but it was at least a year
ago and my memory is bad (at it's
best). And so I was going to google
'name filesystem' or something like
that when that little voice inside my
head cried out 'label'. So I opened a
terminal and 'apropos label' and
discovered that little voice inside my
head can sometimes be right!
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Anyways, there are a few options
I could use. I still want to retain
msdos properties so I can switch it
between machines and..... wait! This
is for my backup drive on a 64gig sd
card. So I can make it a linux
filesystem!</div>
<div>So then:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>first make a partition on the
device with cfdisk (ref linux
fromscratch) then</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div> mkfs.ext2 <device>
-L<name></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Do I need to do anything else
because of the size of the card?</div>
<div>Should I do a different
filesystem type?<br clear="all">
