Hi,
ok, seems that at least the data of one of the three partitions
of my sdcard is toasted...
But it would be interesting to check, what the initial (?) reason
for that failure is: Hardware or logic -- sdcard or filesystem.
that failure very seldom happens with spinning disks
it very often happens with SDcards
chances are *huge* that it's the card itself
Is there any flash-memory-friendly and -aware checker out there,
which detects sectors which cannot be recovered back to functioning?
Not really, to my knowledge no-one has figured out a metric that shows
increased odds of pending failure for SD cards.
They just stop working one day. A lot like fuses actually - there's no
way to examine a fuse and predict when it's likely to blow.
Lesson to be learned: SD cards should only contain stuff you are happy
to lose, or of which you have several backups
