Thanks for your experience atrocity, I am sure RPi's using Raspbian and acting as data loggers need all the help they can get.

Once the piCorePlayer image is written to the SD card and the initial setup is done, there is very little writing thereafter, so very little chance of corruption. I have never had an SD card go corrupt and I have done hundreds of images. I did buy a faulty SD card once and physical broke one SD card due to not being careful inserting and removing. > I think it also helps to use a 32gig card even if you don't need the > capacity because there's more available space to overwrite, hence less > overwriting of the same smaller group of sectors. Or at least I -think- > that's how it works... I believe Twist's problem is not "normal" for piCore or piCorePlayer. This is a "unique" problem and I hope we find the culprit. I don't usually resize the partition on my "in use" piCorePlayers so most of my SD cards are out of action. piCorePlayer is 75m and half of that is free space! regards Greg ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Greg Erskine's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7403 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109404 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
