  • The problems I described eventually happened again after 3 days or so. I got pissed, so I decided to RMA the drive and ship it to Denmark where the store I bought it from has its HQ. As a temporary solution I formatted the laptop’s original HDD, put it back and installed Ubuntu Server. A bit of setting up and now things work. In the meantime I won’t be running NextCloud though, as the drive’s only 250 GB.














  • Last week I released the blog post I mentioned previously. It’s now in Finnish and English.

    I have an old netbook from 2011 that I have used as my home server since 2017. It has a 1 TB SSD, and for some time it had weird problems such as “Remounting filesystem read-only” and “EXT4-fs error”, usually leading to crashes. After rebooting, Ubuntu’s boot screen would not always appear. According to SMART, the drive was however all fine. At first I replaced the file system’s journal and ran fsck. That wasn’t enough, and the problems persisted. I was about to RMA the SSD, when I put Gparted Live on an USB stick and used that for fixing the file system. And it worked, now the home server has worked all fine for over three days!
