I mentioned it because of the "floppies are not vfat" advice which is
wrong. But actually I have to stand partially corrected on ext3... I
just tried it on a 1.44M file and mke2fs -j complains
Filesystem too small for a journal
However it will create a journal on a 2.88MB filesystem, so you can
indeed have ext3 on a 2.88MB floppy.
Possibly the journalling can come in handy on such a removable device.
