Since I get problems anyway, I've enabled "discard" again.

I might be willing to believe my SSD has hardware problems or is wearing out, but I've seen trouble on two different systems so far.
Also, int February, when I had corruption with ext2/3, I thought it might be memory or SSD, but memory tests went fine, and then it happened on a conventional SATA drive as well on a different machine.
I changed those machines to ext4 (since that seemed more actively maintained, and the diagnostic I was getting related to a known race in ext2/3), and ... the problem went away until last week.

There have never been relevant errors in the drive's error log (SMART).

I could change over to a replacement SSD I bought in February, but it's a bit of a slog that won't work if there really is a driver problem somewhere.
