It has been suggested suggested several times - both here and elsewhere on the web - that the problem might possibly be caused by bad drives. Yet, I don't recall a single instance where a disk error was reported in conjunction with this problem. I most definitely don't see one on my systems. Can hard drives and SSDs nowadays fail silently by reading bad data instead of reporting read (and/or write) errors ? I would find that thought quite scary. Can someone point me to related literature ? In this context, it seems odd that this presumed silent disk error would only show up with v4.19.x, but not with earlier kernels. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching the assignee of the bug.
