It isn't obvious how to swap drives without also disturbing cables, somewhat
invalidating the test. In the past at least a few problems, usually on boot,
have been seemingly cleared by re-seating USB connectors or microSD cards.

In the last couple of days a string of lines resembling
find: input/output error <pathname> 
have been showing up in the daily security email. The ssh 
window used didn't preserve the lines but I could try to
save them if it's of interest to anybody. In the meantime
the machine's been running a -j4 buildworld without disaster,
no errors on the serial console either.

Thanks for writing, I'll keep poking at the problem(s).
