Control: forcemerge -1 691427 I believe this is the same problem I experienced with my Thinkpad X230 with 180 GB Intel SSD disk with Lenovo firmware. As far as I can tell, the disk model with the latest Lenovo firmware is broken, and can't handle sustained writes without locking up and disappearing from the SATA bus until you power cycle it. It can happen while writing random data to the disk, but also when doing database operations or writing other stuff to the disk. It affect Windows and Linux users alike. If you never stress the disk, it will probably not fail you, so you might avoid the problem.
See <URL: http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/The_Thinkpad_is_dead__long_live_the_Thinkpad_X230_.html >, <URL: http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/How_to_fix_a_Thinkpad_X230_with_a_broken_180_GB_SSD_disk.html > and <URL: http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Intel_SSD_520_Series_180_GB_with_Lenovo_firmware_still_lock_up_from_sustained_writes.html > for my story. I got a replacement disk of a different vendor/model. Btw: Filling an SSD with random data to encrypt it is going to kill performance and reduce the life time of the SSD. You might want to reconsider and not fill it with random data even if you encrypt it. -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-kernel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
