What's a DR? Disk rescue?
Low voltage... Interesting. I've recently filed a bug report for U-Boot,
because the Pi refuses to boot when I plug in a bunch of USB sticks at
the same time.

I usually have 3 USB sticks plugged in. One is root, the other is a
keydisk, and the other is backup. The SD card slot is empty - it stopped
working. Two of the sticks are on USB2, and the root is on USB3. That
leaves one USB3 slot available. If I plug in two devices on USB3, it
doesn't boot - that's what the bug report linked above is about.
In addition, I have the official case fan installed.
I'll try a powered hub whenever I can.

Tried a DR Ok? Could be a low voltage issue. Powered hubs are good to
keep around. I have a Pi4 and a 512 GB SSD working fine in a USB
adapter (under Linux). Not my 1TB though.

I'm getting filesystem errors during operation, and they're not
associated with
a power outage. Looking at the serial console, it says something
about
'mangled entry' and lists the process involved in the crash, then
ends with a
debugging prompt, which is unresponsive.
After forcibly shutting it down, it requires a manual 'fsck',
which lists
multiple inconsistencies and corrupted files.
Most of them happen to torrent data. I run a torrent client -
Transmission.
It's the busiest process I have, so it's no surprise that it is
the most
affected. Shutting down Transmission definitely improves my
uptime. But
Syncthing - another busy process that reads and writes a lot of
files,
eventually becomes the victim of another filesystem error.
Even 'git' once became involved in a crash. A Git repository I was
hosting
there became corrupted during a 'git push' - it crashed the server
in the same
way - and I had to rebuild it from backups.
The storage media used as root is a Kingston DataTraveler USB
stick of 128 GB.
It's like one month old. What are the odds of this being a
defective unit?
I'm planning to try Linux on it, but if this is a hardware
problem, the
journalling filesystems would only mask it for a while, right?
I've read that
OpenBSD 'ffs' doesn't do journalling.
What do you think I should do?
