Hello

I have been using the stable branch but recently it has not been so stable.  I have experienced some unexpected behavior Not sure if its related to this ubuntu bug ( https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1805816 )

Seeing the similarity especially that we are both using similar drives (mine i( Samsung SSD 980 PRO 1TB)  makes me think it might be a hardware instead of a software issue.

Anyway its interesting that it has only started recently.  Different kernel possibly?

    I use Linux kernel from stable and ext4 filesystems on many PCs with
    NVMe and SATA SSDs and have not noticed anything fishy.
    It is possible that symptoms you describe could be caused by
    regression bug in kernel which leads to data corruption, but it is
    more likely you have a faulty hardware instead.
    First make sure you have a good backup of your data from Samsung
    drive.
    Next you could see if there is a firmware update available for your
    drive model at Samsung website. [1]
    Firmware bug could surface later on and cause data corruption and it
    is a good idea in general to keep storage firmware up-to-date.
