Comment 8 for bug 553282

This was a really ham-handed "workaround". The percentage of users with SSDs has got to be under 1%, and to help them, you're going to risk the rest of your users losing data b/c they thought their system was monitoring their drive health and now it's not? Seems pretty stupid to me, but what do I know.... I only noticed this because I have a drive I thought might be going on the fritz, and went into palimpset to look at it, noticed no smart on ANY of my drives, and started digging. At the very least, the installation of the patch which disables SIGNIFICANT data safeguards should have caused a few flashing lights and, say, a dialogue which asks me if I actually have an SSD or am even thinking about SSD.
