The 256 MB partition on a N8x0 device is using JFFS2 by default.
So the kernel on the device should be able to read the filesystem out of the box.

There is no need for (or point in) using JFFS2 on a consumer flash medium (SD/CF/USB-Stick/etc.), since all of these already implement wear levelling internally.
