results of that btrfs scrub start / command run on a new system install were a whole bunch of uncorrectable errors. Fortunately this computer has more than one nvme drive so I'll wipe this out and try the other drive.
I would suggest trying to find the source of the errors. Check the SMART status of the drive, for example with "smartctl -a /dev/nvme0" (replacing nvme0 with whatever the drive enumerates as). If it reports any Media and Data Integrity Errors, then the drive itself is suspect. If it does not report any such errors, other parts of the computer might be faulty (e.g. failing RAM or power supply). Other potential suspects would be out of tree kernel modules, or unexpected crashes / power failures with cheap drives. --Sean
