Yesterday I was getting random I/O errors for stuff as simple as clear 
(to clear a terminal),
and I got one for halt, even (I manually shut the machine off, and 
rebooted) haven't seen the problem since then but things are sluggish 
and weird.
Is this a warning I should heed?
This is on a brand new (3 days) Jessie (8.5) install on an hdd that 
previously had a Win7 installation and a large storage partition which I 
was having difficulty mounting on another jessie install on another hdd 
in this same machine.
I put /home on it's own partition and rsynced the /home from the other 
jessie install, and now that one (the older one) won't boot without 
going to emergency mode and fscking the disk (haven't even begun to 
diagnose that,but I'm beginning to worry that both hdds are either done, 
or about to be.

tia,
Tony
