I had this issue, presumably because I ran a Debian userspace below Android with a file on the sdcard as filesystem. Every ~3 years, the sdcard would just drop dead. (Other people seemed to upgrade faster than every 3y or don't use sdcards at all, so idk if it was just me.)
It hasn't happened anymore recently, and I feel like there's more awareness/support for this type of usage pattern with the higher-end sdcards that are somewhat recent (like, introduced in the last ~8 years, so after the lifespan of an old cheap sdcard, I'm still on my first new-style one and I'm not yet sure it's not randomness that keeps it alive)
- jsheard 3y agoIf you must use an SD card then there are industrial-grade ones which use pSLC NAND and are meant to endure a ton of abuse, but they're very expensive compared to an equivalent amount of reliable eMMC/USB/NVMe storage. IME commodity SD cards are still a crapshoot.
