Damn, I read this thread a days ago, but I had just been hit by the corruption problem. Running 4.19.5. (And I was installing 4.19.6 during this time, I don't know if that version fix the problem). I revert to 4.18 now. Using linux mint 19 on a SSD.

Well, bigoted people who want to continue being racist, sexist, misogynist, ableist, anti-Semitic, Islamaphobic etc. aren't people with different opinions - they're crappy horrible people.
Opinion is in the definition... actually, according to this definition, a hardcore feminist would be a bigot as well

But enough of this bullshit - I'm not interested in arguing uselessly with such people, and to continue polluting this thread with nonsense.

I ran into that problem only on kde neon (based on 18.04), but not a single problem with ubuntu 18.04 unity or budgie (all of these with ext4 and kernel 4.19) and that's wired. first I ran into a "not writable directory" during updates installation and then when I restarted I saw the initramfs console

I almost lost hundreds of gigabytes of video (wedding camera footage) to btrfs and wasted 2 weeks attempting to repair or recover through the tools. I eventually was able to start the process of manually coping every not-broken-thing to some other hard drives. The problem is that when my 12TB btrfs RAID10 pool did that, I needed another 12TB, so I had to delete my several terabyte steam library, and I've already been redownloading it since a week ago. My internet max speed is 1MB/s down...
Luckily, when originally transferring those video files, I remembered how technology tries to screw me over, so I copied the files in two other places.

I had my first ever ext4 disk crash just after moving to 4.19 a while ago.. One day when bootin up the file system was just completely broken. Chalked it up to not being shut down correctly (might have had a power outage while I was gone), but it's fine after a reformat / reinstall. Might very well have been this.
