And here was I thinking that it was all in my head. Besides these problems, I 
have other weird developments; like, for example, my customized mount points 
no longer being recognized. 

Not a big problem, usually, when things sometimes get messed up. I have an 
automount script that maybe needs to be overwritten once again with my 
settings; also there is fstab. But now, not only are things getting 
screwed-up, not only did I have a failed hard drive that now will not mount, 
but also, all my external hard drives are making up their own names for mount 
points, and inserting themselves in places where they don't belong (where I 
didn't put them). 

I have used the same basic setup now for years and years. Suddenly everything 
is upside-down. 

It seems like these events may be connected to some deeper issues.
