Good morning,
I'm closing this thread. I think we've done what we realistically can
to determine what caused the fsck errors that led to the two boot
failures. I certainly learned a few things along the way. I've also
discovered a few things I should be doing that I wasn't doing before.
I thank each of you who tried to help for your time and effort; you were
a good help.
Bill.

Good morning,
The "f24 boot fails; need help" problem set me back a week. I'm still
catching up. I seriously believe it would be foolish for me to just
forget it. I should for the benefit of others try to get at the real
cause and possible prevention.
A few hours before the failure, I received and looked at an e-mail that
I'm almost certain was at least a spoof, and possibly malicious. I know
it contained html and links. I did *** not ***
click any of the links. I looked at it, and deleted it. It was viewed
in Thunderbird only. The message's "From" ended with "yahoo.com". My
question: It is highly improbable that that message had anything to do
with the boot failure. Am I correct?
Also a few hours before the failure, I did some web browsing using
Firefox with NoScript and uBlock Origin. As best as I recall, the
"riskiest" sites that I visited were finance.yahoo.com (and a few of its
sub-pages, I clicked no ads, no ad links) and indeed.com (possibly and a
posting or two). My question: It is highly improbable that my web
browsing had anything to do with the boot failure. Am I correct?
thanks,
Bill.
