First, thanks for good comments Brian.... I have a complete business support in DELL, and I called them friday to tell them about the problem. Here is their solution : "We're coming to replace your HD".
So, at least in the Business support, they do not consider the problem ! Pretty strange when we know that they sell some of their computer with Ubuntu or Red Hat on it ! I should test (if I have time during christmas) to exhange my HD from my old computer (which is not suffuring the bug) with the new one in the DELL. I would like to see if on it I can manage to "ugly fix" it or if there is a problem at all. This could tell us if some HD are completely out of control (I mean, we cannot change the behavior).
