Are you using an SD card by any chance? If so, it could be that the card is slowly giving up. We can try to see if the following helps to repair defective blocks.
> /forcefsck
reboot
# then after reboot
journalctl -t systemd-fsck
I am using an external SSD as boot and data drive.
How is it powered? It is known that the RPi4 is not able to power HDD/SSD correctly when using the RPI usb ports to power the drive. Therefore, we strongly recommend using an external power supply for such drives.
Thank you. I will consider options for disk power supply. The SSD is powered from USB port. The system has been stable for a couple of years while running 24/7. There was one update problem some time ago and the uptime gets disrupted at times but I think that is due to brown-out conditions in the local power grid.
Is this still an issue, or did a dedicates PSU for the SSD help?
Problem
After running dietpi-update as root the update failed as shown in the output below. I could not login via ssh or run commands as root. After powering off the system it rebooted as DietPi v9.6.1 again and I could login via ssh again.
