Good to know, in that I'm running an AMD chipset on the machine in
question. Does this extent to other makers, or is it just a Samsung thing,
do you know? Wonder if the problem has gotten fixed in later kernels; the
report is from 2018.
Another question: I'm running ext4 exclusively here, but I wonder: is there
a particular advantage in one filesystem over another on an SSD?
