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.

Haven't noticed any corruption problems using 4.19 under Mint. However I recently pulled my Radeon 5450 card and put in a GCN 1.0 HD7770 instead. I added the kernel switches to turn off radeon driver and turn on amdgpu driver for SI and CI cards. After that I can boot up installed 4.15, 4.17,4.18 kernels and they're all fine and inxi -xxxG shows the amdgpu driver active for the card with working Vulkan. Booting up 4.19 causes Cinnamon to complain that it's running in software mode, and inxi -xxxG shows that neither amdgpu nor radeon drivers are loaded and it's using vesa driver.

Note: I'm running on an encrypted root partition, so I wasn't sure if it was ext4 or the encrytencr layer that was messing up.
Haswell based Thinkpad t440p with a 480-500gb SSD if it makes a difference

Hey folks, just came by to say that "journalctl -b-1 -p3 | tail -100" showed me a bunch of new failures on my HDD too now, so it's probably not SSD hardware related... reverted to 4.18.x for now, can't afford to break my main PC like this while waiting for a fix.

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

Whenever something like this comes up, thousands of people will chime in with all the different random problems they have, some caused by bad hardware, some caused by who knows what. I wouldn't put much faith in responses on forums like these because there are way too many possibilities with all the varied hardware and software combinations, not to mention knowledge levels.
I'll trust the devs to sort it all out, and I don't envy their job.
