You are not logged in. Your edit will be placed in a queue until it is peer reviewed.

We welcome edits that make the post easier to understand and more valuable for readers. Because community members review edits, please try to make the post substantially better than how you found it, for example, by fixing grammar or adding additional resources and hyperlinks.

Thank you for the feedback. I followed your advice and made an up-to-date incremental backup. Then rebooted and it came up just fine, no relevant issues at all in the logs. The defective drive is throwing off SMART errors but no filesystem is mounted so I'll leave it in place until I can replace it. Thanks again for the very clear and helpful advice, really appreciated.
