new laptop ssd failed today exactly the same as the old laptop's ssd did in december: Random files got their contents replaced with garbage from elsewhere on the filesystem
wtf is going on with my ssds?
@joeyh are you sure it's the SSD, rather than the RAM or filesystem causing metadata weirdness?
@samis it's a whole different laptop than last time. Maybe a kernel bug?
(bearing in mind that I've seen dpkg make assumptions that broke btrfs long ago, although I'm using ext4 and would not really expect such breakage with it)
my best clue on this is that so far, every affected file is a file that dpkg would touch, and a majority of them are /var/lib/dpkg/info files
