Hey all!
Getting an error saying corrupt update file during the “verify file integrity step” of an installation to an SD card.
The card is of an unknown age and is not a particularly large or good one. I think it’s an ADATA sandisk.
I’ve run fsck -p and -y on it already but it didn’t return any errors.
I’ve reformatted it as well.
Alternative: Also there is a possibility that the SD card shows a bigger size than it actually is. In example it might show up as 32GB but in reality it is just 8GB. These scam cards were sold (or still are) for cheaper price and look like a normal card. When you write stuff on it, then it just looks like it will write data, but after the (let’s say) 8GB real size, anything goes into thin air. Checking for errors will not find anything there, as the sectors would be fine or falsely simulated to be fine via its firmware.
Yeah definitely not this one. It’s been good and filled before. Just wanted to set it up with TW3 + about 40 GBs of Indies.
I appreciate it though. I have been victim to these scam cards before.
The card is likely failing on some sectors. fsck might not be reading these and so it passes. If you really want to know, run badblocks on it. Read the man page for it, however, it can destroy data.
Got it, I’ll check out bad locks. Thanks!
