Hello All, I am wondering what the impact of in-place writes of the superblock has on SSDs in terms of wear? I've been stress testing our system which uses Nilfs, and recently I had a SSD fail with the classic messages indicating low level media problems -- and also implicating Nilfs as trying to locate a superblock (I think). Following is a partial dmesg list: [ 7.630382] Sense Key : Medium Error [current] [descriptor] [ 7.630385] Descriptor sense data with sense descriptors (in hex): [ 7.630386] 72 03 11 04 00 00 00 0c 00 0a 80 00 00 00 00 00 [ 7.630394] 05 ff 0e 58 [ 7.630397] sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] [ 7.630399] Add.
