I have run fsck -y, as you suggested and during this process the computer
displayed a lot of warnings, for example
ATA transport failed: reason 'reset' (or 'timeout'): retrying command
WARNING: /pci@1f,0/pci@1,1/ide@3 (ata0):
timeout: HBA reset, target=0 lun=0
WARNING: /pci@1f,0/pci@1,1/ide@3/dad@0 (dad0):
ATA transport failed: reason 'timeout': giving up
WARNING: /pci@1f,0/pci@1,1/ide@3 (ata0):
timeout: early timeout, target=0 lun=0
there were many more WARNINGs just like the ones above. any further
suggestions?
