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

Are you talking about piCorePlayer? 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 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!
