SD & CF card; does ext2 really work?

I was wondering

    Is it really possible to reliably use ext2 with the Zaurus??    I 
have a SL5500 and had
nothing but troubles with file corruption with ext2 on SD cards.   I 
even implemented
scripts  to sync the SD before suspend but it still corrupts the ext2 
filesystem.  I heard
that the Z does a forced SD umount while applications are still using 
it.     I finally gave
up  and used vfat instead and my problems went away but no symbolic 
links makes it a
pain.
