system stopped writing files!

Ok, on top of my previous Q about no time lapse files being generated...I now find linear_motion testing does not gen any files either!
a quick SSH, sure enough...no new filed in those default dirs. all perms for those directories are 0644.
No errors show up in moonraker or klipper logs
What I do see...is the association with the 'info' prompts, now showing up in the Update Manager.... Klipper show the linear_movement

and moonraker shows the timelapse.

So how do I get these two functions working again?
