Glitches happen, Doug (especially nowadays…), and much often if
machine+HD aren't plugged in a UPS.
So before jettison the HD, a complete re-format with the -cc

One more thing: HDz, except in large secured, redundant and
error corrected bays are NOT a reliable meaning of backup;
tape is (LTO).

<Arafel> Wait! What do you think? A guy who has to taken alone a fortress,
snuffed out a frigging dragon, exhausted a mean witch and
everything just to lay, a nice guy with a minty breath
and shining tooth with a TINT! and hair flying in the wind?
