Sv: Filesystem corruption

[Thomas Bekkenes]

It was the system "built in" to BIOS i was referring to  yes, normally shows up when you show up boot options, for some systems F12 on startup on machine.

Mostly you see this in OEM machines like Dell,HP etc, but i have also encountered it the last 8 or so years in other motherboard manufacturers.

Hopefully you are right and this will not be an issue anymore, but other then drive failure or a faulty motherboard, i cant really see what can cause this issue other then shutdown while some major readwrite action was going on at the same time, like systemupdate.

Yes, the SMART diagnostics have been checked, with help from this list.
They haven't revealed any problems.

The machine seems to run fine again, although it's unknown what the
reason of that "data corruption" was. The BIOS has been updated, the
SATA cables replaced, a new CMOS battery, a new OS installed (Ubuntu
18.04 LTS), no more SSD-as-a-cache...

You say "built in utilities for running diagnostics on boot" - do you
mean some tool built into the BIOS? I haven't encountered something
like that.

There is memtest86+, to be started from the GRUB boot menu. I've tried
that, but no errors have been found.

Bye,
Volker
