So what happens on a violent poweroff? Just lose data?
Sure, if you happened to be in the middle of writing to the card, but this isn't that big of a deal really. People routinely take this risk with USB flash drives and SD cards.

do you know the mkfs.ext4 commands needed or the ext2flags command?
No, but just using an ext2 filesystem instead should suffice (since ext2 doesn't support journaling). That's the standard advice for the OpenPandora.

There's also f2fs. But you do need a recent enough kernel to use it. The versions from some older kernels may eat some files occasionally.
