Yes, use the mtdtools applications nandwrite and nanddump in order to skip 
bad blocks during read and write. You'll need the pad option to nandwrite 
in order to fill out to an even multiple of the page size.

If you're writing a file, it really is raw byte by byte, with no 
indication of file size, access times etc, so to the extent you need that 
info you'll have to store it explicitly.
