    Solved Advice? External USB harddrive accidentally unplugged (no activity at time). Re-plugged, but `mountpoint`/`findmnt`/`lsblk` disagree if mounted?

    So I just accidentally bumped and and unplugged the cable on an external USB harddrive. - There was no activity at the time. - It's btrfs (one big partition the whole drive, about 2TB... (I think it's spinning rust, not an SSD -- I dunno, it's just something I had in my box of random old...

    Installing Fedora 36 with separate "\home": Should I use which FileSystem, ext4 or btrfs ?
