@will -- in my experience with my Patriot Lite SSD, the patch in post 1 works fine but your first software update will undo it. And it's not good enough to apply the patch after the software update is finished, because the buggy code starts running immediately and it trashes the drive before the update even finishes.
The more elaborate workaround in comment 147 (which Andrew Simpson developed and I reiterated) tells the package manager to move the buggy code to a different location and apply all future updates to it in the new location (step 6) and creates a dummy executable file that runs but does nothing (step 7 & 8) in the location of the old software. -- 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
