I had this issue a few years ago, or very similar. I cannot for the life of me remember the solution?
I have a PC that I have been using as a testing Linux PC for a short while, and it has been rock solid for me.
The other day, it seemed to kind of slow down randomly, and it turned out to be the HD.
I would copy files and it would be going at a fair pace of about 80-90MB/s and then it would struggle and pretty much stop... It then decided that the HD was READONLY.
Restart and it would copy just fien again for about 10 seconds and then it would slow to a halt and back to READ ONLY.
Now, I did a fresh install, I went with Peppermint 10 and everything went ok, but the fine-slow-halt-RW issue came back, and so I diod another reinstall and this time, I removed the partition data ( The SSD is / and a swap and the problematic WDBlue is /home ). but again, it did the same.
This time, every time I started the PC up, it gave me the CTRL-C to cancel Filesystem check, and so there must be somethign wrong?
I ran a few filesystem checks but everythign said it is fine????
I tried a few more times with a few different distros and I tried to kill off the partition info and redo it, but nothing would work.
I then thought bugger it, lets see what windows says about the drive...
I chucked it into another PC, and the first thing it saw, was a werid filesystem? I had to delete it and at first, it crashed the PC but then when I restarted it, I was able to kill the partition, and make and NTFS one using the full disk, and it went just fine.
I then used CHKDSK /R and it went through the entire partition and after almost 4 hours, it came back clean!
I then copied a load of files to it and then made copies of those files and then deleted a load of files and defragged the drive, and messed about for a good while, copying while its trying to defrag and everything.
Absolutely nothing seems to be wrong with the Disk at all?
I put iot back into the other PC and then I install Windows instead of Linux, and Im fully able to use the disk under Windows and again , after loads of testing and prattign about, I decide that I am happy the disk is ok, and so I install Linux again, and boom, Im back with the issues?
Now, this has all taken about 10 days in total of me messing about, I have installed windows and the disk is fine, but any Linux and it says the disk is wrecked.
This morning I used a completely ddifferent paid of disks SSD+HD and its absoluitely fine.
So its not the PC, its definitely that particular HD and only under Linux, so what the hell?
Anyone have any clues?
