buffer error on booting (SSD) - benit - 18th April 2017
When booting maui I get these strange buffer errors (I have never used BTRFS). What does it mean? The last line operation does not finish and I cannot boot. If I exclude one partition with NTFS then the error messages still appear, but without last line and I can boot.
So first of all I would like to understand the buffer errors. Is the SSD damaged somehow?

Which program would be a good one for checking the SSD? KDE partition manager info shows good disc health.

You can use smartmontools which is a command line tool but works great.
Code:
sudo smartctl -H /dev/sdaRE: buffer error on booting (SSD) - fanisatt - 18th April 2017
I remember all these errors in different cases !!
I have installed MAUI OS in a SSD and I had also installed a Win XP OS in an old hard disk with some bad sectors !!
Some day I saw the same errors during MAUI boot except the 2 final lines...
The MAUI system could boot normally every time (there was a delay because of the errors report).
I replaced the damaged hard disk and the error reports disappeared !
I remember the 2 final (error) lines too in another case !!!!
I had installed an OS in an internal disk and after that I took "dangerous" updates. I knew that it was risky....Obviously I caused a mess ...
After this action I could see the same final lines during boot (clean - start job etc.) and the system could not boot. (It could boot with the boot-recovery procedure but only with this...)
Fortunately , the disk was absolutely ok !
Good Luck !
Best regards !

Thank you (both!) for your feedback. Concerning the quick test:
Code:
=== START OF READ SMART DATA SECTION ===
SMART overall-health self-assessment test result: PASSEDDoes it make any sense to run a long test?

If the test would fail a long test makes sense. But when everything is running fine and the quicktest passed then there is no need to.
