Both drives are running the latest Samsung firmware and report no SMART errors. The filesystem is — ext4
.
smartctl
output from Desktop this morning:
An extended SMART test and Full LBA Scan in Samsung Magician with the drive installed in a Windows system reported no errors.
Afterwards, I rebooted back into the system and it functioned normally; however, 10 minutes later after returning to the machine having stepped away, it had diedfailed again (the shortest uptime yet endured). The console was filled with these errors:
- I first thought there might be a physical hardware issue. However, subsequent tests indicate the drives are consistently reported as healthy, and it's now feeling more like a filesystem issue.
- It is notable, I think, that everything about these two systems is different, except they are using the same model drives, and have been through the same drive migration process.
- I wonder if the
dd
has caused corruption, although no errors were reported at the time. I'm not (yet) sure how to investigate or resolve this.
