Yes. But it's got to be fixed, apparently.
Snaps pollute.
I couldn't agree more. However, that's the way that K(U)buntu is
headed, unfortunately.
But here we are, sda is your SanDisk SDSSDP064G, a 64 GB SSD, with an
sda1 partion mounted on /, etc.
Am I confused? I've a lot going on off list. I thought you had booting
problems, yet you've booted into sda1 mounted on /, so everything's
okay?
Only when I've first booted into the Recovery Tool. Presumably, that
bypasses sda.
Yes, checking a filesystem is done with that filesystem's partition
unmounted. Otherwise, it might be changing under the checker's feet,
and likewise the filesystem code in the kernel wouldn't be happy with
the checker making repairs without it knowing. Two writers to one
place, each unknown to the other, is often disastrous.
It takes a while to boot into Partition Magic, so I'll report back when
it has been done.
