When convenient will get another drive and substitute in the machine.
Then the dodgy drive can be written over and I can decide whether to 
scrap it.

Meanwhile I have a nice laptop with Debian 11.1 installed.  If the 
desktop system fails I move the SD card to the laptop and carry on 
work as if nothing happened.  The desktop system can be resurrected 
when convenient.

> I hope none, because you use RAID. 

Being ignorant about RAID I had to read here.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAID

No doubt invaluable for a server with a large quantity of dynamic 
data. For my work the SD card and spare machine seem adequate.  When 
the desktop system crashes I can lose a few hours of editing or an 
emessage. It's tolerable.

Thanks,                                ... P.
