What is the solution?
Please provide more information. What is the context? What are you trying to do (e.g. new OS install, or everything was fine and now it's not, etc).
Some information about your system and software would be useful too.
Had to dig out my old laptop (always keep your old laptop).
Suspended machine last night, resumed this morning. Programs started crashing, Firefox said filesystem was read only, then machine became super-sluggish. Did a hard reset and this screen came up.
System76 GalagoPro 5, 1x4TB SSD, Pop_OS 22.04.
I'm thinking that the SSD died.
Seems that way, except that it's recognized by the UEFI. It seems like the boot image or partition may have become damaged or corrupted. Maybe you can boot into a live USB and get an fdisk read on the SSD and see if you can mount the partitions.
Yeah, going to be for Monday - Luckily I have ALL the back-ups at work on two different NAS'. And this "old" laptop is 2019, so not too bad.
Thanks. Bad superblock, tried fixing, no luck.
And this is why you run clonezilla from time to time 😎
I use Duplicati evert week, so we're good.
Almost sounds like the disc is entirely full. I've seen them become read only when you can't write new files due to capacity.
Reinstall OS
Update: using a Live USB, it's a bad SuperBlock, can't repair it. Looks like the SSD is fried.
Update 2: Black Friday deals on 4 TB SSD [NVMe PCI4 7300 MB/s 2280] for $230 at MicroCentre (US) - so upgraded from a 2 TB drive - was needed anyway. Didn't want to mess with a drive that could be questionable - not for $230 plus the week of restoring and re-configuring.
