Dear Linux-Wizards,

I have some USB flash drive that outputs the following errors, when i plug it in:

lsblk output looks okayish, disk size is reported correctly.

sdc      8:32   1 234,4G  0 disk

When i first noticed, i hoped maybe only the first Sectors are broken, but now i'm trying with ddrescue and ddrescue -d and see the similar messages:

I/O error, dev sdc, sector 237172352 op 0x0:(READ) flags 0x800 phys_seg 15 prio class 2

sd 6:0:0:0: [sdc] tag#0 CDB: Read(10) 28 00 0e 22 f7 00 00 00 80 00

It's a USB-3 flash drive, so i also tried an USB-2 port hoping that maybe its some connection thing, but it did not help, I see the same error messages.

Normally USB flash drives warm a bit when reading/writing data, this one ist still cold after 25 minutes of ddrecue

Is there anything else i can do?

Backstory is: I was helping someone with their Windows PC and unplugged the stick without ejecting it, then Windows complained and i pressed to "scan and repair drive" which took a while. At 80% a error message appeared similar to: "insert medium into drive" When clicking OK the message reappeared after one or two seconds. It only stopped after unplugging the flash drive.

The user already said something about folders appearing at wrong locations at the drive, so i hope i did not kill the drive but it was already dying. But still feeling bad about this, so i want to try everything and even reach out to you :-)

i use this at work, and its great. Only downside is, that the buttons are hard to identify and move depending on the size of the screenshot, so you always have to search for the function you need.

Does anyone have a workaround for this?

Even the internet archive is nothing in comparison to the image data used for street view.

honest curiosity, don't want to flame war: do you have numbers for that?

stitching is no longer a requirement because of 360° cameras, is it? it could also be made on the client side if really needed. if people can use josm to contribute to osm, they can use some other software for stitching?!

have you seen that the internet archive has also quite high res books scans and videos?

if your aiming for covering every small street of the whole world tomorrow, you are right: it won't work. but nothing would stop to start with a single city or a region?

lets agree to disagree :-)

[–] [email protected] -4 points 4 weeks ago (5 children)

you have a point there.

and yet we have the internet archive... so it seems to be possible.

[–] [email protected] -3 points 4 weeks ago (7 children)

any sane people would same the same about a map covering the whole world, and yet there is openstreetmap.

yes there are many challenges, but if you start small and grow from there it could work and maybe span a town or two in a couple of years...

please show me a similar statistical map where you can see no difference between east and west Germany :-( i think German reunification did not work out as intended, many mistakes were made...

how would you federate? it comes natural for lemmy to have each community on a seperate server, but how would you do this for a project like dmoz?

i don't think it would be a good idea that one server could own "art" for example, and no one else could contribute. and on the other side it would not be a good idea if everyone could add sites for "art" as then it's just a federated wiki? you still would have to fight spam? do all entries in "art" have the same priority? or should there be some voting, or verifying from other instances maybe? but then rough instances could vote for each other?!

how big is the spam problem on lemmy?

hm. i did not think about serious illnesses when writing my comment. maybe we can specify this as a "not running system", but i can understand that my first snarky comment could be perceived as rude when you have problems with your body. i fear i walked right in the privileged trap without realizing it?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

you can not.

just think about it: 80 to 100 years uptime, no reboot, no fall back system, not even a cold spare. and you want to change something while its running? madness! maybe if you are very lucky you may be able to replace some of the internal components.. but not to upgrade, only if your on the risk to loose the whole system...

90 millions years of evolution, or you: who knows better?

It looks funny on pictures, but i bet everything would go south if you would straighten it out or reorganize it.

If you don't know the intend why it looks as it currently looks i would not touch it. even if you know why it looks like that and you can somehow compensate those effects, i would not do this on my own body for the first time...
