You should also mount both partitions with the "noatime" flag. ext2 does

This can be prevented with the noatime flag.

I think not. One reason against this would be that the error does not occur everytime 
but only in special cases. Another reason is that the controler chip on the flash disk 
is mapping out bad bits automagically. So you should not run that early into problems. 
Also, the controler distributes write access across the whole partition.
