Tim here. It sounds like your drive is starting to error out and possibly die. The first thing I'd do is run a background test: $ sudo /usr/sbin/smartctl --test=long /dev/sda and then after it has finished running, issue $ sudo /usr/sbin/smartctl -l selftest /dev/sda to see the results of the test. I have a pair of cron jobs set up to run these two commands weekly, running the first test at midnight on Sunday-into-Monday, and then running the report at midnight of Monday-into-Tuesday (the test usually takes ~2hr on my machine and I tend to forget). My own drive started throwing errors a while ago and so I've bought a replacement and just need to do the backup/replace/reinstall/restore dance when I get the time next week. -tim On April 5, 2019, Linux for blind general discussion wrote: > This is an error report from > smartctl -a /dev/sda > Truncated, showing only intro and error section > smartctl 6.6 2016-05-31 r4324 > [x86_64-linux-4.18.0-0.bpo.1-rt-amd64] (local build) Copyright (C) > 2002-16, Bruce Allen, Christian Franke, www.smartmontools.org > > === START OF INFORMATION SECTION === > Device Model: HITACHI HUS724040ALE640 > Serial Number: PAGRGBRS > LU WWN Device Id: 5 000cca 22bca3623 > Firmware Version: MJAONS04 > User Capacity: 4,000,787,030,016 bytes [4.00 TB] > Sector Sizes: 512 bytes logical, 4096 bytes physical > Rotation Rate: 7200 rpm > Form Factor: 3.5 inches > Device is: Not in smartctl database [for details use: -P > showall] ATA Version is: ATA8-ACS T13/1699-D revision 4 > SATA Version is: SATA 3.0, 6.0 Gb/s (current: 6.0 Gb/s) > Local Time is: Fri Apr 5 02:43:04 2019 CDT > SMART support is: Available - device has SMART capability. > SMART support is: Enabled > > SMART Error Log Version: 1 > ATA Error Count: 65535 (device log contains only the most recent > five errors) CR = Command Register [HEX] > FR = Features Register [HEX] > SC = Sector Count Register [HEX] > SN = Sector Number Register [HEX] > CL = Cylinder Low Register [HEX] > CH = Cylinder High Register [HEX] > DH = Device/Head Register [HEX] > DC = Device Command Register [HEX] > ER = Error register [HEX] > ST = Status register [HEX] > Powered_Up_Time is measured from power on, and printed as > DDd+hh:mm:SS.sss where DD=days, hh=hours, mm=minutes, > SS=sec, and sss=millisec.
