Again, New Update blows up the SDCard

Post by blacklistedcard »

The new 5U updates completely blew up the SDCARD. I think people should backup everything before even hitting the upgrade button. The only way I could recover is download the image and redo everything from scratch. Third update when selected from the Meteohub maintenance, blows up the whole sdcard and I have to reload from scratch.

It is not the update that blows anything. Which SD card type are you using?
I have made good experience with Transcend and industrial SD cards from them.

I tried all of them... Kensington, Transcend (standad and industry), Samsung... The result is the same. Lowlight record was 6 weeks until the card brokw. Highlight record was 5 months without any issue. I am really fed up by this. I even started to use 3 different raspberries. One for meteohub, 1 for just one stupid pressure sensor and another one for my webcam. It turned out, that neither the bosch sensor nor the webcam are causing any trouble (so I will go back to a single raspi solution). It's definitely meteohub that screws up the SD cards.

What I am doing with meteohub:
- upload a small webpage every 5min
- upload 4 graphs every 15min
- upload the wswin csv every 15min

That's all, but it's too much. There should not be any writes necessary to the SD card. Everything should be put on an external HDD by default.
