[RESPONDED] Possible MicroSD reader failure (Fedora)

I went ahead and recorded my terminal to show proof, but I’ve had this issue previously. Previously, I thought this was something that was fixed in a kernel update but perhaps this MicroSD card expansion card is just not as compatible with cards as a cheap $10 dongle off Amazon is?
Per the following recording, it obviously sees the MicroSD card, however it’s not coming up as a mounted device that I can browse or add stuff to. This issue has been happening for about a month now, and it doesn’t seem to matter which slot the card is in.

Also, apologies for the time in between showing lsusb as it seems the slots lock quite tightly and getting a card out, which I don’t do often, takes a bit of effort.

Another terminal recording showing that the same MicroSD card works fine in an Anker USB-C to CF/SD card reader.

Hey Alex,

If memory serves me from our previous conversation, this was not something I was able to repro, with me leaning towards the card. I’d need to dig through the previous conversation.

This is a different MicroSD card, as the previous card has died a horrible death of destroyed contacts. This MicroSD card works in the Anker USB-C hub and a OWC USB-C hub that has a MicroSD slot fine, but refuses to mount when using the Framework MicroSD reader…could this be a matter of swapping out the MicroSD expansion card for a different one and trying again?

Going to upgrade to the Fedora 40 beta and try again

I’ve noticed mine being a bit temperamental :frowning:

Yep, looks like even on Fedora 40’s most recent updates, another MicroSD card I have is showing up when listing USB devices, however it’s not coming up in Gnome Files:

However, the MicroSD card adapter at least lets me dd old cards now:
