I did, actually, last Friday. Numbers of files in the portage tree suddenly changed owner (or group), and when I fixed that git complained that my numerous local changes would be lost and refused to sync. Of course I hadn't made any local changes. I've just ordered a new SSD; let's see how that goes. It's twice the size of the current one, so when it wears itself out I can move all the partitions to a new part of the disk and get a second life out of it. Thanks all for helpful contributions. -- Regards, Peter.
