I had a Kodi freeze when stopping live tv, so I send “systemctl restart kodi” via ssh. After the restart nearly all of my settings were gone. It was the first time this happened, and I use Kodi (Xbmc) for about 6 years.
This is an extract from my log file:

It seems that a filesystem error on my ssd occurred, so it switched to read-only mode. I booted the PC with a gparted usb stick and ran fsck on both the system and storage partitions. No error was found.
I don’t know how to fix this error or if it can be fixed at all. Since I can still access all relevant files and have a dedicated disk for these two partitions, it would just be a matter of some hours to setup a fresh system. But if the error could be fixed with some command line trickery I would highly appreciate this.
Can anyone help me, please?
