I still don't know. I had the impression that having my home-dir on the ssd lead to filesystem-problems ... maybe all those tiny writes ... I don't know. Could be fs-related as well ... Moved my home back to hdd as recommended by Volker here a few months ago. Only having my root on the ssd worked OK for quite some time (sidenote: how to do that on my thinkpad? Having it hdd-free is one main reason to move to ssd ...) As mentioned I faced some hefty crashes in the last days ... unfortunately I wasn't able to record the logs as the drive simply disappeared. I thought I had the latest "dmesg > myfile" on hdd but it was empty after a reboot .... Currently I am back on my raid1-hdd-root ... slower but OK ;-) The crashes happened with tuxonice-sources-2.6.32 -- dunno, if the latest ebuild brings some changes helping in this context. Maybe it's ext4-related as well ... you know, many moving parts in a modern system .... Stefan
