I try to understand an issue only you seemed to have here on this thread. If you’re too soft skinned to handle a simple question, similar to you, I suggest you don’t come on the internet.
I can confirm that, now when I shutdown I hear a big “clung” and my 8TB HDD speeds down “audibly”.
No error found in journal.
However I can notice now a different behavior on an “issue” I noticed before when waking up the computer from sleep.
Before I always had this error when waking up computer:
oct. 21 17:11:26 omano-nvme kernel: ata2: softreset failed (1st FIS failed)
But now when waking up I get:
oct. 22 11:50:07 omano-nvme kernel: ata2.00: VERIFY failed (err_mask=0x4)
oct. 22 11:50:07 omano-nvme kernel: ata2.00: revalidation failed (errno=-5)
The HDD doesn’t seem to have an issue though after waking up it works. But the sound it makes when shutting down is kinda “scary” in a way, as described by Gavenga.
