I run Ubuntu-20 and I have scanned my laptop using smartctl. The test results are as follows:

Is my drive failing?
I am observing a lag in the system. It takes lot of time to read and write files. Also, my filesystem sometimes go read-only (shows read-only filesystem, unable to perform operations).
I have good amount of resourses (12GB RAM and i3 7th gen).
What steps should I take to recover these things?
Best Answer
Yes, your drive is failing:
There’s nothing you can do to make the drive “better”. What you need to do next depends on what backups you have, if any. If you don’t have any, stop using your system and get an external drive at least as large as your laptop’s drive, and then copy as much of your laptop’s drive to it as possible (using
ddrescue
).
