Very doubtful. Is the Pi really shut all the way down before you pull the card from it ? Sometimes you need to give it a bit of time to let it flush its writes to disk on the way down. I guess I'd make liberal use of the write-protect switch on the SD card whenever reading from it on the mac, just in case, if all you're doing is sticking the SD in the mac, reading from it, and ejecting it after you write the image to the mac disk. Of course you'll need to occasionally test your .img file can be written 'to' a usable SD card too so you know your backups work. FWIW, I don't back up my pi any more. Just save the data someplace over the LAN via scp occasionally, and (try to) keep everything I change stashed in a git repo that I can easily reinstall. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
