You'll find flash file systems used in personal digital assistants (PDAs), cellphones, MP3 players, digital cameras, USB flash drives (UFDs), and even laptop computers. This article looks at a couple of the read-only file systems and also reviews the various read/write file systems available today and how they work. Explore what the flash devices are all about and the challenges that they introduce.

jffs, jffs2, yajffs, logfs, et. al. are only for situations where you have access to the raw flash memory. USB flash drives, SD, etc. have an abstraction layer that makes them look like regular ata drives to the OS. These file systems could not be put on those devices anyway.
