did this happen with multiple SD-cards ? if not, I strongly suspect that the issue is that particular card , not the OS. it rhymes extremely well with either a faulty card or a card whose firmware was doctored to report a larger size than the one it really has

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.
Cheers!
