I’m getting an error message that seems to indicate a disk problem when executing systemctl status.... The message appears only when in a virtual console, however, and I’m having trouble posting a link to an image. I suppose this is a security measure, but it is quite inconvenient at the moment!

“Having trouble” is not an adequate problem definition. 
You can upload images to https://susepaste.org/ (top right choose image, set to never expire) and post the link to the page (not the image) here.
But the image is not too bad.
Run the following in a virtual console:
**erlangen:~ #** journalctl -b -q _KERNEL_SUBSYSTEM=scsi|susepaste
Pasted as:
https://susepaste.org/32221965
https://paste.opensuse.org/32221965
Link is also in your clipboard.
**erlangen:~ #**
Post URI: SUSE Paste
Cool beans. Thanks!
And then SUSE Paste
This doesn’t appear to be working correctly. My output doesn’t display at the URL. And it expires in 1 hour in any case?
And it expires in 1 hour in any case?
Use the susepaste -e switch:
-e EXPIRE
for how log will be paste stored on the server. Default is 30 minutes, possible values
are:
30 30 Minutes
60 1 Hour
360 6 Hours
720 12 Hours
1440 1 Day
10080 1 Week
40320 1 Month
151200 3 Months
604800 1 Year
1209600 2 Years
1814400 3 Years
0 Never
journalctl -b -q _KERNEL_SUBSYSTEM=scsi|susepaste -e 0
So it will never deleted.
But here the susepaste link is not copied automatically to the clipboard, I must copy/paste it by myself.
Thanks. My clipboard is also missing the link. And the output command is not getting piped to susepaste. I’m seeing a bunch of what looks like standard error output in the virtual console in response to a request for the status of any unit.
Odd behavior on this forum page confused me, earlier. I’m used to pasting clipboard contents using the middle mouse button. That doesn’t work, here. Ctl-X must be used, instead. So here’s a link to an image showing the output:http://tomr.fastmail.net/public/systemctl_error.jpg
I’ve also seen some similar I/O errors on an old drive housed in a USB case –
# journalctl --no-hostname | grep -iE 'blk_update_'

Bottom line, your system disk (/dev/sda) is suffering from ageing errors – it’ll die, possibly quite soon, if you’re lucky, later …
- Please check the output of the following command:
# smartctl --all /dev/sda
What you need to look out for is things such as the following – taken from an older (more than 10 years old) Seagate Barracuda ST3500418AS (7200.12) –

Yes, yes, I know, for Seagate Barracuda drives, the Raw Read and Seek error rates don’t mean much due to a discrepancy between the Seagate value reported and S.M.A.R.T. – the ECC Recovered value is also not worth much but, for this case as an example, they’re a hint for where one should look when inspecting a drive for a possible near future total failure …
- BTW, these values are taken from a HDD which happens to be installed in the system but, isn’t being used – it ain’t normally mounted …

Old Seagate HDD in a laptop… OK, ILL it is dying.
You may replace it with SSD.
Thanks. It’s difficult to justify sinking more money into this old thing even though it’s been a great machine:
I presume the following is an indication of imminent failure:
ID# ATTRIBUTE_NAME FLAG VALUE WORST THRESH TYPE UPDATED WHEN_FAILED RAW_VALUE
1 Raw_Read_Error_Rate 0x000f 097 078 034 Pre-fail Always - 84367557
I’ve never seen anything but similarly huge numbers for this RAW_VALUE on any Seagate.
Among serious problems are the following (you want to see the bold numbers be zero, no read failures in completed tests):
- 196 Reallocated_Event_Count 0x000f 054 054 030 Pre-fail Always - **41120**
(32461 0)
- 197 Current_Pending_Sector 0x0012 100 100 000 Old_age Always - **206**
- 198 Offline_Uncorrectable 0x0010 100 100 000 Old_age Offline - **206**
- # 1 Short offline Completed: **read failure**
90% 46616 416983104
46623 power on hours equates to 5.3 years continuous uptime. With due speed is the time for this disk’s replacement.
Cool. I just snagged a 500 GB SSD at Crucial.com for $60. I can’t believe the free hardware. I was thinking it would be more like $150.
$55. Cheap. Rather slow. No DRAM cache. Plastic case, can overheat itself.
Better one.
Thanks. I got lucky and ordered the better one. The overheating could be an issue. This old Thinkpad runs a little warm and is on its 2nd fan/heatsink.
