Hi

I bought a Samsung 840 almost a year ago. 
I still use a 3.7 kernel and its seems that the fstrim command works without problems.
So most likely I still use the old firmware
However since I run also Windows (which I have not booted for ages), I would like to know if windows might/will
upgrade the firmware (without asking) and causing me trouble?

Does anybody know about this? thanks

Uwe Brauer

Bug description:
  Hi,
  after updating Samsung SSD 840 EVO to the latest firmware (EXT0DB6Q) the fstream command doesn't work anymore. Besides, there are a lot of file system errors and "bad sectors" reports. The problem is certainly caused by Samsung's firmware but I reported it as a bug because in Windows TRIM works normally after the upgrade. I have attached an image uploaded by a user who is experiencing the same problem. If you execute the command "sudo fstrim /" the  console gets stuck. If you add that command in rc.local the boot is compromised. I really hope this problem could be solved.
  Thanks
