Hi,
(Running Gentoo Linux on a 4.9.17 vanilla (ftp.kernel.org) Linux
kernel)
I was doing a backyp of a 64GB SAMSUNG flash card to my
harddisk....which runs for quite a while...
For that I mount the partitions and tarred their contents as root
to the harddisk
Syddenly out of nothing/from nowhere/into thin air or whatever:
read errors happens and the process stops.
Step 1: dd the contents into an image
step 2: put the sdcard to one side.
step 3: loopback mount a copy of the image (not the original)
step 4: try recovering the filesystem on the loopback, if it fails ...
try something else on another image copy.
SDcard reliability sucks :(
