| schestowitz | Yes, my main workstation had its FS set to read-only again, which made KDE go wonky. I am having a lot of FS errors these days, forced fsck at reboot, seemingly FIXED when it attempts to fix found errors (inodes with no reference or something). Is it time to dodge this HDD as soon as possible? Is silent data corruption likely? | Sep 11 11:29 |
| schestowitz | Appr (KDE package manager) keeps crashing for weeks, but it has no practical effect on operation. I am already commissioning a new laptop in case it comes to worst outcome. Should I dodge this machine now assuming physical issue (HDD is 5+ years old)? | Sep 11 11:29 |
