Comment 24 for bug 454301

Just installed Ubuntu Desktop 10.04 on my Dell Mini 9 (had been using the preinstalled 8.04 previously) with a 4GB SSD and got this error. To minimise disk writes I do not have a swap partition and use ext2 to eliminate journalling (this is how it was before and it worked fine). The details tell me that attribute-32 (No description for attribute 32) has status Failing. Not very useful, it has identical info for 41, 46, 44 (all no description). 68, 109 and 178 say "failed in the past".

References to "spinning down" and "surface" do not inspire me with confidence that this app knows about the existence of SSDs let alone how to deal with them properly.

The UI is also pretty appalling as it is not possible to shrink the window to fit to the desktop, requiring me to use virtual windows and skip between them - the designer needs to remember that not everyone uses huge hi resolution monitors, I don't expect perfect, but scroll bars would be better than this
