I have a PC I use for USB work.

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.
Thanks Greg
You didn't show the kernel messages ... so are you sure it's the _destination_ (/dev/sdb1) which is failing, or could it also be the _source_ device (/dev/sdc)?
