SD Card not accessible after update
I updated to the latest version of Bazzite earlier this morning and when I tried to open an emulated game that is installed on the SD Card it didn't work. I played games from the SD Card yesterday. The Bazzite update probably did not do anything but the reboot or something else maybe affected it. Is there any way to get it working without a format? I had spent a lot of time setting up some Emulators and games from the card.
I went into desktop mode and I don't see the card in Dolphin, and the mount mount is not accessible either.. Tried to eject and insert again with no luck. It does show on Disks app but does not list all the details (screenshot). Inserted the card on my Mac and it asks for a format.
This is the output of the
lsblk
. mmcblk0p1
is the partition and it was mounted on /var/mnt/SDCARD
.

This is on a Rog Ally X if it makes any difference.

you tried
sudo fsck -y /dev/mmcblk0p1
?whoops looks like it was badly corrupted
was it EXT4 or NTFS
NTFS doesn't really sipport non Windows OSes
I believe it was ext4 as it was accessible from Windows (back when I was dual booting).
So my option would be to format it, right? Whats the suggested filesystem? btrfs?
Windows by default doesn't support anything other than fat32 XFAT & NTFS
so unless you installed an EXT driver on Windows Windows wouldn't be able to access it
ext4 is the most mature filesystem on Linux
it's what Android uses as well
Thanks, appreciate your help!
if you can plug the card into a Windows PC & it was NTFS/FAT/EXFAT Windows may be able to fix it
Maybe this could be the culprit: recently I switched the app and the configs paths of the Emulators to all be in the SD Card. Could it be that they tried to do a ton of reads/writes and caused the corruption? Before the configs were under NVMe in
$HOME/.config
dir and I symlinked those to the /mnt/SDCARD/emulator
directory.
I don't have a Windows machine and the virtualised Windows on my Mac did not pick it up at all.hmm VM should have assuming it was passed in
You're right it was not being passed it. I can see it now, but if I try to open it it asks me to format it.


I have a feeling I don't get a chance to fix it right


dang it
