Thanks for this reference, I found the timeline interesting, especially the initial report in 2021, then the one month sequence and timeframe in 2022.

Took a long while until I found the right state of mind to finally understand what was causing those (rare) file corruptions. Once I figured that out, the rest was easy :-)

I really resonated with the assumption which was wrong and moments of exhausted ideas. Thank you for documenting these.
