Need help and guidance with my SSD and partition

metallicdaisy · Today 04:13:39

Hello and thanks for any guidance in advance.

My problem is this sudden crash in which my PC suddenly freezes up, then in about a minute after the screen goes black, and then i get the following on my screen;

[14038.461843] BTRFS critical (device nvme0n1p2 state EA): emergency shutdown
[14038.726838] BTRFS error (device nvme0n1p2 state EA): error loading props for ino 5949343 (root 256): -5
[14038.728500] BTRFS error (device nvme0n1p2 state EA): error loading props for ino 6501604 (root 256): -5
[14038.835480] BTRFS error (device nvme0n1p2 state EA): error loading props for ino 183351 (root 256): -5
[14042.981953] BTRFS error (device nvme0n1p2 state EA): bdev <missing disk> errs: wr 149, 13588, flush 0, corrupt 0, gen 0
[14042.982068] BTRFS error (device nvme0n1p2 state EA): bdev <missing disk> errs: wr 149, 13589, flush 0, corrupt 0, gen 0
[14042.982068] BTRFS error (device nvme0n1p2 state EA): bdev <missing disk> errs: wr 149, 13589, flush 0, corrupt 0, gen 0

And then this just continues.

Systemd fails to start the login session, when i try to enter the tty so it was necessary to do a hard reset.

After the restart, my PC seems to be running fine with no issues that can find on the surface, but I've had this issue before and I want to never have again.

My questions are;

Have I a made some (to everyone other than me) obvious mistake when I made my partition.

Is this a common issue with BTRFS (I've seen some criticism of the fs)

Or is my SSD F'ed up and needs replacing

And most important what should I do to fix it (I really love learning about arch and tech stuff in general but I don't understand filesystems very well)

My PC spec:

CPU - AMD Ryzen 9 5900X

GPU - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 12gigabyte VRAM LHR

RAM - Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4-3200Hz C16 BK DC - 32GB

SSD - Samsung 990 Pro SSD - 4TB

Motherboard - Asus Rog Crosshair VIII hero

Desktop Envirment - KDE plasma 6.8.2

Note: I don't get this crash often, in fact I've gotten it 4 times so far, first I just thought I needed to update something but I've only one started to get worried enough to ask for help, I know very little about filesystems and SSDs.

If I forgot to include anything important please tell me so I can correct my mistake, and again thanks so much for any guidance or help in advance, I hope your day goes great ^^

bdev <missing disk>

nb. that SSD typically refers to a SATA device, you're using an nvme
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Solid_ … leshooting
Might also be https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Power_ … Management (try "pcie_aspm=off")

The problem is likely the device (disk) - not necessarily the cell integrity (though do check https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Solid_ … NVMe#SMART ) but it falling off the bus.
Are there error messages visible ahead of the btrfs noise?
If this happens more frequently, try to keep "dmesg -W" running in some window so you can hopefully spot what's wrong during the freeze and before your GUI crashes…
