When you have done that and got everything up and running again, the first thing you should do is set up one of these that will create and copy your snapshots off the card automatically:
thanks, I will try tomorrow…yeah backups, was manually moving them over to my PC and got lazy/busy for about a month or 2, will definitely add an automation off site.
You’re reporting i/o errors on dev mmcblk0 your SD card. Classic signs of failing card.
There’s a number of utilities you can use to check the integrity of your SD card. If you’re using Linux this free utility is useful. It can even revive your SD card and make it useable again https://fight-flash-fraud.readthedocs.io/en/latest/usage.html
thank you for replying, no not using Linux, to the trash bin it goes once I try warranty route, as its only 3 monsth old and came with the R Pi 4 from CanaKit, I think they are usually a good outfit about such things
If the supplier agrees to provide a replacement that’s your issue resolved.
Every new SD card I purchase is put through a test using that utility I referred to. If it passes I’m happy to install my system on it.
Be mindful that there are many SD cards on sale in the marketplace that are counterfeit and present as failing cards. You need to be able to identify the counterfeits though.
Well, it had worked for 3 months…I’m self taught and would have to take up Linux and just losing interest lately in the whole HA automation thing, winter is coming maybe it’ll interest me again.
I will see if that testing part of the program works through Windows, but if memory serves it was read write only on Windows.
