Which filesystem are you referring to? I thought you were going to format the SD card as FAT32.


FWIW, EXT4 works fine apart from as a boot partition, if you're running the OS from SD.


I've not bothered setting up swap on my Gigahertz unit, but if you're doing audio work I guess it may help.
 
I understand the bootloader can't mount the ext4 partition to pull the boot.txt/autoboot.txt out of it. In fact, consulting the wiki again it claims that partition must be either ext2 or FAT, but that that boot.txt can load a kernel from FAT, ext2, ext3 or even ext4 according to one bit of the text (though it doesn't document the syntax for loading a kernel from ext4) and from there the kernel can read most formats fine.
 
I had similar problems with reflashing. Only for this purpose I created a small FAT partition on my 128GB card. But though it is the first partition I cannot reflash from this one. Not a big problem here, as I always carry some more smaller SD cards with my Pandora.
