Keep an eagle eye on dmesg and the logs. If you can, bringmachine down and run memtest86 for a few hours (say, when you go to

Thank you for the reminder. It does.

I ran this for F in /dev/sd??* ; do ( tune2fs -l $F ; echo $F ) | grep -e dev -e UUID ; done | tee /tmp/tune2fs.txt to check for duplicate UUIDs. I used sort and my eyeballs to check.
