6 I had repeated I/O-errors while having /home on the ssd, with kernel
7 2.6.32-tuxonice and 2.6.32-tuxonice-r1 ... now I use my hdd-based /home
8 again and the errors are gone (so far, maybe the re-occur after sending
9 this mail, you know ...).

11 The home-related I/O-errors still happened after poweroff, the "fsck -f"
12 showed no errors.
