I have a dual booted laptop consisting of Windows 10 and Ubuntu Budgie 18.04. Both of them have been installed on a 256GB SSD. In Ubuntu Budgie, after using for a long while like around 4-5 hrs suddenly I start getting the "File system is Read-Only error", I google about this issue and found that I had to run fsck -yf <disk>, when I run this its fixes the issue, but it continues to happen again and again. Earlier I had dual booted on a HDD, this was my first time using an SSD. Is there any permanent solution to fix this issue? I get very annoyed when this error occurs out of nowhere when I am working on something.
For my system, the Read-Only error happens on /dev/sdb5, so I run fsck -yf /dev/sdb5 and it gets fixed but after certain time it happens again. I would be really glad to get a permanent solution to fix this.
fsckonly fixes the symptom of the problem, without touching the cause. Did you explore logs as to why the file-system tripped RO? (dmesgwill show issues only for current system, lost at reboot, butjournalctlshould still contain clues) I'd look there (and likely evaluate the health of the drive, ie. using its SMART (help.ubuntu.com/community/Smartmontools))interrupted (host reset). I tried both short and long tests. Here are the screenshots of gsmartcontrol for the SSD - Screenshots. I couldn't make mush sense of the things.dmesg -Hand this was the output - (imgur.com/a/sUeXzHf)
