If you lose power on an RPi, it'll sometimes put everything in a state where it won't boot again. I've had this happen often enough at my parents' place in India (the power goes out unpredictably there) that I just imaged a bunch of SD cards and left them there so they can just swap it out when the time comes.
- dhon_ 10y agoInteresting, are they mounting the SD card read only?
- arjie 10y agoNo. I should have, but there was some reason I didn't and I didn't spend the time to figure out how to do the thing I wanted to. Unfortunately, it's been over a year.
- michus 10y agoI am running a Raspberry Pi hosted web server for almost 4 years now. I only changed hardware to newer Raspberry Pi and bigger SD card after first 2 years. Never had any issues, never had to buy new SD card, its still up and running 24/7.
- arjie 10y agoWell, if you've never had power interruptions, that's what I'd expect. It's the interruptions.
