It happened again. I'm using a laptop with a short power cord and sometimes I recline my recliner and don't notice it fell out. I'm usually only up here in the winter.
Anyway I did the drive diagnostics again, saw the end this time and it didn't find anything wrong. Rebooted and it fscked the big partition OK. So I'm wondering if maybe when fsck runs on multiple partitions it could be not freeing some memory or something between? Or is it doing them simultaneously and that fails?. The messages look like it's doing one at a time, I see the first 2 finish then I get the error. Next time I see that I'll try just rebooting without doing anything else. But it happened this time without doing anything with USB at all, I just ran the battery down.
