It'd help to see some logs. If you can boot from Fedora installer media, use 'mount -o ro' to read-only mount the ext4 rootfs somewhere, and then point journalctl to the journal location, something like 'journalctl -k -D /mnt/var/log/journal/$machineid/ --no-pager' where you have to just tab to get the $machineid to fill in, and that should get us a bunch of dmesg-like output from the most recent boot....which now that i think about it might not have made it to disk if the SSD is failing. But it could still provide a hint... Also including the dmesg for the LiveOS boot might show issues when you do the above mount. I would look into doing a backup of at least /home sooner than later too. Btrfs is faster at some things slower at others. But it'll also detect SSD pre-failure symptoms before anything else including the drive's SMART reporting, by showing transient corruption. All such messages appear in dmesg. Btrfs is more sensitive to pre-failure because it's checksumming everything, not just the file system. So it'll detect even a bit flip. -- Chris Murphy _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
