Hi,
I have a RaspberryPi 5 that has been running Manjaro + KDE since last october, on a Samsung 512 GB EVO SD card purchased at the same time.
Everything was fine until a couple weeks when I started seing stalling for long periods with the LED off, indicating SD card access.
This became worse and worse, I checked the logs and found out a high number of read errors on the SD card.
I put the SD card on another Raspberry Pi 5 : same issue.
I put the SD card into an USB3 adapter and tested it on my laptop (btrfs scrub) : No error. I could clone the SD card with Clonezilla : No error.
Still, the SD card doesn’t work in Raspberry Pi 5 anymore.
So I put the SD card back into the USB 3 adapter, plugged it into the Pi 5 and booted : No problem at all. I’m currently writing this using this Pi 5 with this setup : works just good.
I’m now running kernel 6.6.13-1-MANJARO-RPI5 and I believe it has been upgraded during the last weeks.
So I’m wondering : could I have a kernel issue that has broken the SD card reader during the last updates, as it affects 2 Pi 5s, but the card itself seems fine when accessed using an USB adapter ?
Both Pi 5s are happy running SD cards containing vanilla RaspberryPi OS…
Well I don’t know what to think, should I believe the card might be defective in “some way” that wouldn’t show when using an adapter ? Should I think it’s kernel related ? I don’t believe my Pi5 is dying on me, as 2 Pi 5 exhibit the same behaviour using the same cards…
Any suggestion welcome.
