formatting usb flash drive for jessie

[Gregory Nowak]

my understanding is that journaling file systems shouldn't be used on
flash media, because the journal gets constantly written to the same
portion of the drive, causing that space to wear out faster. Is this
not the case?

Ext4 and jffs2 might be a bit faster than btrfs, emphasis on might,  but btrfs has so many more features that I use it for everything now. Snapshots, multiple disk support, transparent compression and deduplication  to name the big ones.
