Russell,
Thanks for the complete explanation.
How do I remove it?
Press '1' at the prompt, like the rudimentary menu suggests.
Or, alternatively (after unmounting) auto-repair with: fsck.vfat -y
/dev/sda1
There is a manual page for fsck.vfat on most systems: man fsck.vfat
What I did yesterday fixed the problem: the system was still up and running
all night and the monitor woke when I jiggled the trackball.
logwatch reported on yesterday's reboot: shows a warning that /dev/sda3 (/)
needed to be cleaned from its ext4 journal, which it apparently was during
that reboot because the system is okay now.
Regards,
Rich
