One card - many OS?

[faddah]

So it seems you already know and accepted that you bought a fake card, right?

Regarding the other cards you're trying to use (all new, 'genuine' and from Best Buy)... guess what, they sell fake cards too since everyone is selling these cards since they get into the supply chain pretty early: http://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=507&pid=4458#pid4458

And you still wonder that you don't succeed burning an image?

@tkaiser,

this is why, on the wiki page for software downloads/install, the very first step, is to verify the card you have, using either of the methods they detail, either with H2testw or F3. i did, and verified all 64 GB MicroSDs i got via internet mail order were, indeed, 64 GB.

you can also, on mac os x or linux, if the MicroSD is pre-formatted, just plug it in to your computer and run —

Code:

$ df -H /dev/diskX

where the 'X' is whatever disk number the MicroSD is. that will tell you right away if it is the capacity you're expecting.

and i agree with others here — let us please end the tangents and hijacking of threads with personal axes to grind. i, for one, one would really appreciate an answer to this issue, as i would love to have several OS's on one MicroSD and be able to switch boot into them.

if you have an issue with a proliferation of bad MicroSD cards, please post in a separate thread, though i doubt anyone here will be able to do anything about it.

best,
