I would definitely try another external drive and maybe try to store
on a
local drive and move the files after finishing.
Agree with Patrick.

It is more likely the DD responds with corrupting the data because of
the operation (writing xml I expect) than Darktable actually doing
something wrong.

If it is a spin disk – you may want to check it for bad sectors. But
what Patrick suggest should take the disk out of the equation
completely.

Hello,

First, it is Testdisk, not memtest - I do not know why I always mention
the
second instead of the first... 😬
And I do not know as well why I wrote the scan lasts two hours, since it
takes more than twelve. 😬😬
And, yes, does not really reflect the reality : as I have still not
upgraded to 22.04, the problem might be caused by anything else than dt
itself, so a log would have been a good starting point.
My interrogation was whether dt coul have saved a crash dump though
launched as usual - ie with no commuter, aso. The answear is obviously
no,
unfortunately.
The last time it happened I ran a full test after restoration (another
12+
hours) and no bad sector was detected.
In any case, I have a backup of the files, I just need to get the
sidecars
then I can copy to another disk and restart clean.
you are still not eliminating possibilities with your current approach.
Yes, I do, since I intend to copy the files to another disk. I just need
to retrieve my sidecars first.

try first to export to a local disk.
That might not be really relevant, the problem does not occur
systematically. Only two times since dt upgrade and heavy work
(reworking my whole images collection, 24k+ photos).

also try to another removable drive.
See above, 1st reply.

I doubt "22.04" is the problem.
It is not, since I still have not upgraded. So, rather *my* 20.04 install
with dt4 - if even. I have installed lots of stuff, and restarting from a
fresh 22.04 clean install might be the solution. However, restoration is
still in progress, so I have to wait a little bit more.

Rgrds,

While you  are troubleshooting, perhaps also do a memtest on the RAM. A faulty
RAM chip once gave me a lot of "bad sectors" on a HDD (and as they were marked
as such, replacing the RAM stopped it getting worse, but didn't recover the
"bad" sectors...)

In any case, I'd rule out hardware problems before upgrading to a new OS
version...

Good idea, I will do this.😎
The scan has finished, the partition was reported as Deleted. It was enough to revert it to Primary, I am able to access the whole disk correctly. I am currently copying the sidecars, then I will copy the raws from the backup disk to a new one and copy the sidecars, and finally run a test on the "faulty" disk.
It may take some time, I will come back and report when done.
