2.6.27-10 is still rock solid for me, at least with respect to write errors. I've had no errors in the last four days, although if I'm running other things like VirtualBox, it can take an unbelievably long time to finish a copy (it just took 30 minutes to copy about 1 GB).

The very slow copy makes me think that it's not so much a case of crappy SD cards as crappy drivers. But the latest kernel is definitely a big improvement in that I'd rather have it take longer than lose data and not tell me about it.

Now we just have to fix the kernel so "fdisk -l" and hence gparted recognise the SD partition again so I can format the damn thing... (that's a regression from Hardy).
