Subject: Raspberry Pi write cycles
I did have a case where the Pi I was using as secondary DNS/DHCP and as the
secondary backup server (using USB spinning disk) destroyed its SD card.
But then it turned out not to be the load at all. No matter what I ran on that
Pi, it would corrupt its SD cards in a matter of weeks (the symptom was that
the fourth bit of some bytes would just stick on). I assume it was just
something broken in the Pi itself.
===
The usual cause of this is an insufficiently beefy power supply. Every Pi that
I ever had that ate SD cards ceased the habit when I put a better supply on it.
