Perhaps it isn’t the media but the SD card reader? It could be that the device is going offline due to some hardware problem. Have you checked dmesg? While the badblocks operation is read-only, it does produce a lot of I/O operations on a new filesystem. If the problem is fsck corrupting disks, that seems like a pretty major problem and you should file a bug. -- Jonathan Billings -- _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
