Never tried.  You can freely switch from using an ext3 as ext3 to ext2
and vice versa provided you do a clean umount in between.  I can't see
any real advantage of using flash memory with ext3 (except that it
halves its life time).

But beware: the new beta OS doesn't umount any partition but the
first, so data loss is waiting for you if you don't provide umount on
shutdown/reboot yourself.  Mounting with -o sync may help somewhat.
