I wrote about Raspberry Pi And The Story Of SD Card Corruption | Hackaday before, quoting my tweet
[Wayback/Archive] @hackaday I’m have been running a few Raspberry Pi systems with 8-32Gb micro-SD cards as web-dashboard with refreshes every few minutes or so: much write access. When using Sandisk (no matter the type) they last about a year, Samsung (no matter the type) cards last multiple years.
That post got scheduled when I was recovering from my rectum cancer treatments and coping with bad LAR-syndrome. The good news when writing is that I survived and LAR-syndrome is more manageable. The bad news is that at the time you read this some 75% of my peer group didn’t, including some good friends .
I write this post at time around 50% of the peer group have passed away. A kind of tribute to them: let them be remembered.
This time I am trying to see if a microSD card causing the boot to hang on starting with “A start job is running for File System Check on /dev/disk/by-id mmc” then containing some time elapsed followed by “/ no limit”.
