That's not really what I was asking. Regardless of what storage device
it's on, I just want to make sure the filesystem doesn't use journaling
(e.g. ext2 rather than ext4) and that the system is set up to not record
logs of things like warnings and errors. These things will do a number
on an SD card. (I can't say I know what you're referring to by "64bit
somethingorother".)

It won't hurt me personally either way because I'm capable of
reformatting to a non-journaling FS and should be capable of disabling
logging myself, but it would suck if your computer cards got a
reputation for chewing through SD cards because of the default settings.
