Our devices are constantly logging data, so we would need some kind of
wear levelling and would want to have protection against file
corruption in the event of power loss while logging.

I just assumed that the MSDOS/FAT file system wouldn't fit the bill.
Does the libblock flash driver support wear levelling?  The File
Systems wiki page mentioned that journalling could be added to the
libblock flash driver, any thoughts on difficulty?
