Earlier today I had an issue where my pi couldn’t be ssh’d into and the hdmi port was outputting nothing. I powered it off with the power button and it rebooted into emergency mode (I assume the sd card corrupted?). I reformatted the sd card and it was fine. However, it has just happened again. Does anyone know what could be wrong?

    I used to get corrupted SD cards all the time when running Pis 24/7 (remote, outdoor, in an enclosure) so I finally switched to the white industrial SD cards and haven’t had an issue since, so maybe that’s worth a shot. I only use regular SD cards for temporary testing now.

    (Edit: the ones I use are SanDisk industrial for reference)

      The official one that came with the pi. It is plugged into a power bar but that hasn’t ever been a problem, I’ve had it since december 2023

    If it happens again and you’re curious you could mount the root partition of the sd card and look at the logs and try to fix the issue

    No important data is on the SD card, only an external drive attached to the pi. I have had to turn the pi off to take the data off of the drive.
