Update 2: Black Friday deals on 4 TB SSD [NVMe PCI4 7300 MB/s 2280] for $230 at MicroCentre (US) - so upgraded from a 2 TB drive - was needed anyway. Didn’t want to mess with a drive that could be questionable - not for $230 plus the week of restoring and re-configuring.

Thanks. Bad superblock, tried fixing, no luck.

Update: using a Live USB, it’s a bad SuperBlock, can’t repair it. Looks like the SSD is fried.

I use Duplicati evert week, so we’re good.

Yeah, going to be for Monday - Luckily I have ALL the back-ups at work on two different NAS’. And this “old” laptop is 2019, so not too bad.

I’m thinking that the SSD died.

Had to dig out my old laptop (always keep your old laptop).

Suspended machine last night, resumed this morning. Programs started crashing, Firefox said filesystem was read only, then machine became super-sluggish. Did a hard reset and this screen came up.

System76 GalagoPro 5, 1x4TB SSD, Pop_OS 22.04.
