[Bug 445852] Re: devkit-disks-probe-ata-smart causes HSM Violations on SSD, and potential hardware death

[Alan Pope]

@Trey, technically they're not 'bricked'. You can revive them fairly
easily. I revived two (including the one Martin logged into) by using dd
to copy zeroes over the entire SSD. Once done I did a Jaunty install
(this was a few months ago) and upgraded to karmic, but before rebooting
to the new upgraded karmic install I did what's recommended in the
description (as per comment #145).

It's been running karmic fine for ages. According to Martin Lucid does
not suffer from this problem so you could dd zeroes then install the
Lucid beta and be safe.
