[Gumstix-users] problems with mmc card, verdex pro...

[Jason W. <ja...@tx...>]

Hey Folks..

   I have 6 of verdex-pro boards now, with the associated network
card.  I'm powering the board off of a gumstix power supply, plugged
into the network board.

   When I power up the board, the mmc card will randomly go into
read only mode.  This can and does happen after boot, as well, i.e.,
I've booted the device, mounted the card, opened files and started
writing.  At some point after that, the card decides it's read only,
and I can't open any more files for writing!

  This of course, plays major havic with my programs.   Anyone
else have this problem, or does anyone have an idea on how to get
this to stop?

   Anyone from Gumstix reading this?  I have 6 cpu boards, and I've
tried manufacturers of 2G cards from Transend, SanDisk, and Kingston...
they all seem to do the same thing.  Randomly.  So far, it looks
like if I can get past the first 5 minutes of run time, it doesn't
do it again... but...

The mounting options I'm using are:

/dev/mmcblk0p1  /media/card    auto  rw,users,umask=000,defaults   0  0

Any clues would be appreciated!

Jason
