CFC - RW - power-donw ?

Hi all,

I've a question regarding a PC that needs to boot from CFC (Compact
Flash card), hope this is the correct place to ask.

I would need a PC to boot from a CFC-card that has R/W enabled.

At this time I have been testing it with EXT2/EXT3 but when POWERING
down abruptly it seems that the CFC-ext2/ext3 file system gets
corrupted, finally resulting in a NON bootable system.

At this time I have partitioned the CFC into 2 partitions 1-FAT16 (to
store the kernel) and 1-ext2/ext3 partition that has the root-file
system.

What would be the correct file-system (and/or mount /build options) to
put on a CFC ... so that it is able to survive abrupt-power downs ?

Or is the somewhere a guide (URL) that explains me some more stuff
regarding this.

Thanks and Regards,
Noel
