I'm not. You mounted the filesystem async and had a crash. With the filesystem mounted async *nothing* pushes out most metadata updates, with the result that the filesystem's metadata can quickly enter a fatally inconsistent state. The only way home safe is a clean unmount. If you mount an FFS filesystem async you are playing with fire. Sure, it can be useful, but asbestos clothing is not optional. Thor
