I have a PC I use for USB work. Somehting like: mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt # mount the destination. cd /mnt dd if=/dev/sdc of=image-file.dd I've had it running with oS 13.1 for a while. I updated it to 13.2 recently and now it is extremely unreliable. Various HDD metadata queries are failing routinely (but not reliably). And often, when I start the dd (like) process, the kernel starts spitting out errors continuously. I'm forced to hold the power-off button to be able to interact with the laptop. This is a production machine (laptop) and I need that feature to be highly reliable, so I need to get it resolved fairly quickly. My thought is to treat 13.2 as a failed update, and go straight to Leap 42.1 now. Any recommendations pro/con that approach.
