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 :(
