Faults can suddenly appear. Or there could have been a long standing problem on a part of the drive that you weren't using until now. And you may not realise there's been drive faults with Windows. When I used to use Windows in the past, you kind of got used to its flakiness, and glossed over various quirks as Windows being Windows. And going back even further I never got any warnings from Windows that my drive was bad. Yet when I installed Linux on it, it immediately complained about faults. I sorted out the drive, and Windows general flakiness improved, too. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.11.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Dec 18 16:34:56 UTC 2020 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
