`Read only file system` after upgrading to nixos 22.11

Hello. For the last 4 years I have been mounting my drive with:

  fileSystems."/mnt/samsung" =
    { device = "/dev/sda1";
      fsType = "ext4";
      options = ["nofail"];
    };

And I have a bunch of symlinks in my home directory to access all data in /mnt/samsung. Now I just upgraded to nixos 22.11, and the fs is read only:

touch: hello: Read-only file system

Have you checked boot logs? It may have backed off to a read-only state due to problems with the fs.

Thank you tejing. It’s fixed with no intervention after a few restarts.

It came back. Now it didn’t mount (after restarting when facing the read-only problem again)

Any idea? The startup process is very fast and I can’t read anything. Here is the log (journalctl -b 0): gist:c8b28b62e4ef69ef9067ff916580d4c3 · GitHub

Your file system is corrupted.
