Comment 21 for bug 430333

I have been using the release for an hour or so daily for several weeks. I believe this problem is much less noticeable but not completely fixed, and probably will blow up worse again with time. This past weekend I noticed Evince wouldn't open. I cannot remember the last time I used Evince on this machine, but a critical .so file was corrupted, and a reinstall of the package made it work again. fsck has shown nothing, but I suspect if I went through and tried to read all the files I would see additional corruption.

Today I was looking around and found a discussion at http://forum.eeeuser.com/viewtopic.php?id=78939 which pointed me to Bug 387272, which is marked as a duplicate of Bug 445852 -- and the erratic behavior of the SSD sounds like what I am seeing. I'm guessing that not only does it occasionally freeze, but it's also corrupting the data. For some reason the early installers triggered the bug more than the later ones, but the symptoms persist.

BY THE WAY I have tried installing ureadahead as described at http://undacuvabrutha.wordpress.com/2009/11/09/still-not-happy-with-the-speed-of-your-boot-in-9-10/ but it made no difference in my boot time. SO whatever problems ureadahead addresses it is NOT an improvement for the kind of upgraded SSD I have in my EeePC 900.
