Should I be worried for unexpected errors if not? Well you didn't mention the SSD model, but generally no and no.

Just make sure you used recent enough partitioning tools (but as the wiki says, squeeze is ok already) and maybe set 'noatime' (but since 'relatime' is default now the benefit is rather limited). The default scheduler tweak also looks interesting, but again, you probably won't feel the difference. Did I mention you should have good backups? :p Just sit back and enjoy the speed ;) Kind regards, Andrei -- http://wiki.debian.org/FAQsFromDebianUser Offtopic discussions among Debian users and developers: http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/d-community-offtopic
