Beagleboard -XM and 32GB microSD card oddities

Beagleboard -XM and 32GB microSD card oddities

[Sid Boyce]

I'm not really looking for a solution, just supplying some information 
in case anyone is contemplating a >16GB card.

Using Ubuntu 11.04 ARM or x86_64, I cannot create an ext4 partition that 
will mount. Doing fsck.ext4 appears to fix the filesystem, but rerunning 
fsck.ext4 a second time gives the same errors.

Only BTRFS works.

A BTRFS partition can be created without a problem. I then use rsync to 
copy across all the data from the 16GB (ext4) partition and it mounts 
without errors. After the rsync I create the excluded directories proc, 
sys, tmp, media.

I get a kernel oops (2.6.39-x1) on boot up of the 32GB card.
I'm still trying to figure why I'm getting the oops that I don't have on 
the original 16GB card.
Regards
Sid.

Is your card labeled SDHC or SDXC? Can you give the specs of your card?
Have you tried on Pandaboard?

It's marked Sandisk microSD HC 32GB. The only view and description of 
how it's put together is at 
http://www.androidcentral.com/finger-32gb-sandisk-microsd-card where one 
reply reckons it's Class 2.
http://www.jigsaw24.com/product-details/x946axa/sandisk-32gb-micro-sd-card 
for a much clear photo.
I only have a Beagleboard -XM, no access to a Pandaboard.
Regards
Sid.

I just had a closer look with a magnifier, it's Class 6.
