Flashed my SD card with SXMO Postmarket and now I can't flash other OS's on it - ragreenburg - 05-03-2021

I flashed an SD card with SXMO a few months back and wanted to try a few different OS's now and the issue I am having is when trying to `dd` the new OS (Manjaro with Plasma Mobile) it is giving me an error of not enough space (below) but doing `fdisk` shows me that I have just over 29 GB of space, any ideas why this is happening? It has been a while since I flashed an image on the SD card but I think I followed the instructions properly.


Code:
3968401408 bytes (4.0 GB, 3.7 GiB) copied, 65 s, 60.9 MB/s
dd: error writing '/dev/mmcbkl0': No space left on device
60618+0 records in
60617+0 records out
3972612096 bytes (4.0 GB, 3.7 GiB) copied, 65.6348 s, 60.5 MB/s




Output of `fdisk`:


Code:
Disk /dev/mmcblk0: 29.1 GiB, 31279022080 bytes, 61091840 sectors
/dev/mmcblk0p1 *      2048  249855  247808  121M 83 Linux
/dev/mmcblk0p2      249856 61091839 60841984  29G 83 Linux

Is that a typo in the device name?

Shoot, dyslexia strikes again. Thank you for this, I swear I double checked this and didn't see the issue so thank you!

Have you ever successfully written more than 4 GB to that card? If not, then it's possible you have a fake card that was labelled as 32 GB, but in fact only has 4 GB. You could run a test with f3 to verify that.

Thanks for the response, the issue was that I made a spelling error though.

when I used to work at a call centre we used to call this a PEBKAC error.
