What does the 'ret' shows?  Is it -ENOSPC?

I got nothing else in my logs.

Unless it was a second error from a filesystem that went RO, there
should be more than the "Failed to join transaction" message, and the
first occurence of some transaction abort would spit some stacktrace as
well.

As you wrote in next paragraphs, it was probably a cable disconnection, so my
bet is on EIO, and the transaction abort did the right things, so

I powered the laptop back on and it came up like nothing ever happened.
