Also add "noatime" to your CF partitions in /etc/fstab. There is no 
point in recording the latest access time in the file inodes each time 
a file is used.

As with HD's, CF media keeps spare blocks and transparently swaps out 
bad for new when they wear or start failing. So in use do not expect 
failures to start gradually.
