This 5.15.155 kernel has issues here on my machine, looks like ata drivers went a bit over the top.
What happened is that on cold boot, one of my older wd disks went off and on again with lots of errors in dmesg and it's a 1st time I've seen it happen.
Reverting to 5.15.153, which was last known good kernel here, apparently fixed the issue. Did a fsck.ext4 and the drive's fine.
Anyways, waiting for the issue to surface again, but I'm pretty sure it's a kernel ata subsystem problem.
