It is now happening on every boot.

I have seen in the log errors related to the swap and also to the xfs home partition. It is an M2 disk.

smartcl doesn't show any error.


I will attempt to boot from rescue USB, running TW, and run fsck on all partitions. My main computer is also offline, broken disk, so I will not be able to communicate. Maybe I can setup email on rescue image.
