Hi Laurent, noticed nobody replied to your message. :-) If you n800 is slow, there's probably nothing wrong with your SD card unless it crashes (full reboot) when you have a lot of applications/windows open. If you're curious about how reliable your card is, you need to make sure you have virtual memory/swap turned off. I wouldn't do this if you have any valuable data on the card! 1. Install e2fsprogs from the maemo bora main repository. 2. From the osso-xterm/ssh session unmount the SD card: umount /dev/mmcblk0p1 3. You can then run badblocks like so: badblocks -n -v /dev/mmcblk0 This will take a _long_ time, so plug it into the charger and go have lunch :-) You probably don't want to run this too often since it will wear out the flash eventually.
