ext4: total breakdown on USB hdd, 3.0 kernel

Hi!
Ok, this ext4 filesystem does _not_ have easy life: it is in usb envelope, I wanted
to use it as a root filesystem, and it is connected to OLPC-1.75, running some kind
of linux-3.0 kernels.
So power disconnects are common, and even during regular reboot, I hear disk doing
emergency parking.
I don't know how barriers work over USB...
Plus the drive has physical bad blocks, but I attempted to mark them with fsck -c.
OTOH, it is just a root filesystem... and nothing above should prevent correct operation
(right?)
On last mount, it remounted itself read-only, so there's time for fsck, I guess...
But I believe this means I am going to lose all the data on the filesystem, right?
Any idea what could have happened? It looks like garbage written over the filesystem, right?
I'm using devicemapper on another partition (for encrypted ext4). I feel I lost that filesystem,
too, but without root filesystem, I can't check it easily.
Any idea what to do so that it does not repeat?
Should I switch to plain ext2?
