This is really helpful, Jim, thank you. I'll look into fsck. I have no idea how to use that ...

ACLs have definitely been a problem. I'm trying to remove in spots. Where should I NOT remove them? Again, I'm the only user of this system ...

If the filesystem is corrupted, will fsck fix or do I need to do another clean install? If the last clean install didn't fix, I'm not sure another one will do better ...

What is extended info used for? And, how would I remove?

I know how to undo the sticky bit on stuff, so I'll take a look at that caches folder.

Thanks again! I really appreciate it.

fsck.xfs(8)                                                   System Manager's Manual                                                  fsck.xfs(8)

NAME
fsck.xfs - do nothing, successfully SYNOPSIS
fsck.xfs [ filesys ... ] DESCRIPTION
fsck.xfs is called by the generic Linux fsck(8) program at startup to check and repair an XFS filesystem. XFS is a journaling filesystem and performs recovery at mount(8) time if necessary, so fsck.xfs simply exits with a zero exit status. If you wish to check the consistency of an XFS filesystem, or repair a damaged or corrupt XFS filesystem, see xfs_check(8) and xfs_repair(8). FILES
/etc/fstab. SEE ALSO
fsck(8), fstab(5), xfs(5), xfs_check(8), xfs_repair(8). fsck.xfs(8)
