Re: External HDD Power Issues / Disconnects

Running fsck from the multi-user.target does not cause it to blow up, nothing suspicious in dmesg or journal either.

update: edited title since this is no longer exclusive to NTFS. will try running with the LTS kernel.

update 2: LTS kernel causes drive to crash.

Re: External HDD Power Issues / Disconnects

If otherwise fsck has reliably triggered the problem, can you replicate it
1. with a fresh user account
2. running a different session (eg. sway or icewm or so)
