Re: [Bug 219609] File corruptions on SSD in 1st M.2 socket of AsRock X600M-STX + Ryzen 8700G

[Stefan]

Hi,

just got feedback from ASRock. They asked me to make a video from the
corruptions occurring on my remotely (and headless) running system.
Maybe I should make video of printing out the logs that can be found an
the Linux and Debian bug trackers ...

Seems that ASRock is unwilling to solve the problem.

Regards Stefan
