I should have realised something was wrong when Lightroom previews were taking so long to generate. The disk holding my photo archive is corrupted, and macOS “First Aid” reports an exit code 8 when it does a file system check.
Luckily, the disk still mounts, and I have another disk where I can copy everything off, and multiple backups, but this is not a nice thing to wake up to.
On the other hand, there are hundreds of thousands of files there, and the file system check couldn’t tell me which ones were corrupted, and might need to be restored from Backblaze.
