Hi
I've experienced this twice now. Once yesterday and again today. What
happens is, out of the blue, the system will get out of whack. Programs
will unexpectedly stall or shutdown, then all of a sudden the system is
no longer usable, and any attempt to start another process or execute
basic commands results in a segfault or IO error. The only thing that
sets the system straight again is a cold reboot.
I did not send a bug report because I'm starting to think it is a
hardware problem, but I wanted to ask here for a second opinion anyway
in the hopes it might be some kernel issue.
SSD is a Crucial M4-CT128M4SSD2
Attached should be a portion of the kernel/syslog related to the problem.
Please let me know what you think
What firmware version do you have on your SSD? The M4 series were
plagued by bad firmware until fairly recently, and your symptoms sound
very much like what I experienced myself. Please make sure you are on at
least 040H firmware, which fixes the issue.
Yeah, after searching around a bit, I found out that the firmware on
these drives could be updated. In fact, I had had 010G installed. Now
the newest revision appears to be 070H. I updated to that version and
everything seems to be working fine so far.
For the time being firmware can be found at:

Thank you for your help Chris! :)
HTH,
Chris
