@Trey, technically they're not 'bricked'. You can revive them fairly easily. I revived two (including the one Martin logged into) by using dd to copy zeroes over the entire SSD. Once done I did a Jaunty install (this was a few months ago) and upgraded to karmic, but before rebooting to the new upgraded karmic install I did what's recommended in the description (as per comment #145).
It's been running karmic fine for ages. According to Martin Lucid does not suffer from this problem so you could dd zeroes then install the Lucid beta and be safe. -- devkit-disks-probe-ata-smart causes HSM Violations on SSD, and potential hardware death https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/445852 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
