the file system is working now but it's fragile in the sense that I 
now get the ready-only problem, say every few days.

if I can help it, I don't want to reinstall at the moment. and I don't 
have a current enough system-backup. not to mention I'm thinking it 
may be time for a new SSD.

but I'll reinstall if I can't find a more surgical fix.
