I don't have a new disk on hand at the moment; I have ordered a new hdd, but
it won't be here until Friday, it's a seagate 2TB SCSI drive, I will likely
install Jessie on it when it arrives, and rsync my /home to it from this
drive I'm using now.
Last night I reinstalled on one of the existing drives, and rsynced over my
/home/ from the other.
This one seems to be working okay at the moment, but I'm afraid to reboot
until the other drive arrives.
right now dmesg | grep error gives me:
[ 15.709107] EXT4-fs (sdb1): re-mounted. Opts: errors=remount-ro
[ 16.793678] r8169 0000:04:00.0: Direct firmware load failed with error -2
Dunno if that helps, the r8169 has something to do with the network card,
unless I'm mistaken.
You are correct, but you grepped for errors instead of actually
looking.
1. make a backup before you do other things. Don't do anything
with this system until you have made the backup.
2. go look in dmesg yourself.
3. when someone offers you advice on a mailing list, continue
the conversation on the mailing list so that other people can
(a) assist
and
(b) learn

Sorry about the prior, off-list reply, DSR, I just keep forgetting to
list reply (old age, and a brain tumor).
I don't have anywhere to put a backup at the moment except by copying
stuff to both of these old, failing drives and praying they don't buy
the farm until the new one arrives on Friday, so I'm using this system,
I have no other machine, and I have work that must be done, today
(freelancer with deadlines to meet).
Looking through dmesg, piped to less, and searching for "error",
"fail", or even "mount" I don't find anything seemingly any more
relevant, as far as I can tell, than the errors I already posted above,
unless any of this is useful (does all seem to have something to do with
the hdds in the case, but doesn't seem to mention any errors or failures):
