If there are filesystem errors on boot, you get a initramfs shell that allows running fsck on root for repairs. Sometimes, some files can’t be fixed. The system resides on a Transcend 256GB MTE110S SSD. Now one would probably assume that SSD is faulty. What’s curious is that so far, any and all noticeable corruption has been limited to guix-related files! smartctl repports "overall-health self-assessment test result: PASSED" and has "No Errors Logged". Full output attached at the end. It does however claim that all except one power cylce has been an unsafe shutdown, even though I had only a few hard resets and usually shutdown by issuing `poweroff`. Searching the web for this issue led me to turning off fast boot in the BIOS, but that didn’t help. I would still like to have a minimal invasive way to get beyond: ``` guix pull: error: Git error: invalid data in index - incorrect header signature ``` Or a way to to remove/replace /gnu/store from the running system. ``` ~: sudo smartctl -x /dev/nvme0n1p2 [sudo] password for thorwil: smartctl 7.1 2019-12-30 r5022 [x86_64-linux-5.8.0-53-generic] (local build) Copyright (C) 2002-19, Bruce Allen, Christian Franke, www.smartmontools.org === START OF INFORMATION SECTION === Model Number: TS256GMTE110S Serial Number: G286710001 Firmware Version: S0905C3 PCI Vendor/Subsystem ID: 0x126f IEEE OUI Identifier: 0x000000 Controller ID: 1 Number of Namespaces: 1 Namespace 1 Size/Capacity: 256.060.514.304 [256 GB] Namespace 1 Formatted LBA Size: 512 Local Time is: Tue May 18 09:23:26 2021 CEST Firmware Updates (0x12): 1 Slot, no Reset required Optional Admin Commands (0x0007): Security Format Frmw_DL Optional NVM Commands (0x001f): Comp Wr_Unc DS_Mngmt Wr_Zero Sav/Sel_Feat Maximum Data Transfer Size: 64 Pages Warning Comp.
