Super sensitive file system!
I have my current laptop for almost 4 years, but it's about 7 months that I have been using Linux (Ubuntu 18.04) as my only OS. There have been challenges for me (you know normally as a new user) to get familiar with Linux, but things are fine except one big issue which doesn't seem to be normal.
My file system is very sensitive and gets corrupted very easily just for no reason, and these corruptions are in different levels:
- Sometimes it just simple and while booting needs
fsck /dev/sda1(Still wired! Why a normal computer needs that time to time?) - Sometimes when I'm using my computer suddenly the whole file system becomes read-only. This happened maybe 3-4 for times in past month. I just should reboot and it again requires
fsck /dev/sda1 - Sometimes while booting I get the error Try to read/write out side of the (hd0) which the solution is doing the
set root=(hd0,msdos1) ...and you know the rest. Although the last time that happened (after an unexpected shutdown) it just didn't get fixed by setting root and prefix and I had to do the next case. - The most hard case is when absolutely nothing works is to boot Linux with live USB and run this command:
sudo e2fsck -f -b 32768 -y /dev/sda1!! Which has been my life saver all the time. Actually a period of time I had to do it always but after updating GRUB it usually gets fixed by first case.
However all these cases happen to me time to time with different frequency. Pretty annoying haw? I don't know if all of them are caused by same problem or not but this is the whole story of me and my machine's file system. Is it about an physical issue of my Hard Disk? Or my PC (Lenovo Z5070) not being compatible with the Ubuntu. Or maybe just some solvable issue?
And the last thing to mention is that I really didn't have these issues at all when I was using Win 10, and I kinda believe that if I switch to Windows things would be normal again.
So any ideas or clue for my situation? That would really help.
Thanks

UPDATE: I used some disk health check tools and surprisingly the result seems to be fine! Although I couldn't do the self-test in Disks but the showing result seems fine. About the SELF-TEST FAILED I read that it can be about because some sectors are used and it can't test, so I boot up using live USB but same thing happened. However before test it says: Disk is OK and all assessments as you can see is OK too. I also used SmartMonTool which is another tool for disk health check, and the result was PASSED too.

Step 1: Look up how to run a SMART test on your hard drive. Chronically corrupted filesystems are a classic symptom of a dying hard drive.

It's ok. You can just restore from backups. No problems, right?

@user535733 I'll do a SAMRT test and will tell you the result. Thanks

@jdv I actually didn't get exactly what you meant. Restore backups of my data? Or just file system? File system just gets corrupt and I repair each time but data is still there and no problem with that.
