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.

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!
