Well...<br>
Stress test still running on reputable brand with no PB, after 6 or
7h.<br>
<br>
During this stressing session, we found a few broken SD, from
another reputable brand. <br>
Not all cards, though, but enough to put some confusion... ;-)<br>
Something else added to the confusion, was an article on a Linux
block layer issue...<br>
<br>
OK.<br>
Now, at least, we have a "stressing" tool and a stack of RPI in case
of doubt on SD :-)<br>
<br>
By the way, is there any well known bench mark tool for SD, on
CentOS or OpenSource ?<br>

this happen with multiple SD-cards ? if not, I strongly
suspect that the issue is that particular card , not the

<div>Been there, done that! After seeing a large number of
‘infant mortalities’ with RaspPi 3+ setups using cheapie ‘no
brand’ microSD cards, we made the switch to using only ‘name
brand’ cards from reputable manufacturers. Problem solved.</div>
