Hi,

this time the test was bad :(

it lasted only 3 hours , then it crashed.

this time the setup was: non-SSD + 8gB.

the crash happened while i was copying a file to another pc, via netcat. The 
file was 3.4gB.

At first the file was transmitted until the end, but when i checked the md5sum 
i've found out it arrived corrupted.

So i re-sended it and before the end of the transmission i had a kernel panic 
(the one with the blinking led).

So i rebooted and tried again to send the file and it worked well, then i 
checked the md5sum and there was no corruption.

so i tried again to retransmit it and i still had no corruption.

All this (the last 2 transmissions) was just after the reboot. Maybe the 
corruption happend only after some hours of PC usage? Maybe after the reboot i 
had no corruption/crash because that retransmission was the only thing i was 
doing (there was no other apps opened , i only used startx to start openbox and 
then i did the transmissions via xfce-terminal so, the reason could be that 
this time i havent used much memory).

I'll now dump this installation partition (sda1) on the SSD, so that i can do 
the next test using the very same installation.

Next test is: SSD + 4gB.

ciao
