Given a 7350 booting to the Busybox shell prompt (not full Debian).
The file system is mounted read-only and by design you have to run the save 
script to write any changes to the SD card.  I'd like to be able to store a 
user-preferences file generated and modified by a C program  somewhere on the 
SD card but I don't want to have to run the save script.

So, I tried making a new JFS partition (in place of the eclipse partition).  
But there are two problems.  First, if I make a change to something on that 
partition (new file, edit a file, etc), and I turn off the power, the system 
forces me to run fsck before it will let me mount the partition.  Second, the 
changes have been lost.

What is the proper way to accomplish this?  I though JFS was a power-loss 
tolerant file system.
