I don't and reading the posts, it's a hardware problem leading to
filesystem corruption. It's affecting all filesystem but the detection
capabilities differ, so it stuck with btrfs.
At least the Arch wiki note can be removed, I don't see any value
keeping it there, the fixes to ATA subsystem have been merged to 4.15.
