My openssh-client is Version: 1:9.2p1-2+deb12u7 ssh-add works properly for me: $ ssh-add Enter passphrase for /home/dsr/.ssh/id_rsa: Identity added: /home/dsr/.ssh/id_rsa (/home/dsr/.ssh/id_rsa) Enter passphrase for /home/dsr/.ssh/id_ed25519: Identity added: /home/dsr/.ssh/id_ed25519 (dsr@newtao) Are you certain that the disk failure could not be responsible? -dsr-
