Writing test files issue

Open edwardthehuman opened this issue 3 years ago • 3 comments

When I click on Test, it just says at the bottom of the progress bar the following:

Writing test files max-write-rate=2048

And then I wait for a long time and it doesn't change, even the progress bar remains empty. Sometimes it just says 'stat' so I cancel it try again.

Are you perhaps on a card that's > 32 GB, @edwardthehuman ? It's my experience that 32GB cards work swimmingly well, but the partitioning scheme - or something just falls apart when you make te bump to 64's. I've observed this on several different brands of uSD cards. It writes the first file successfully, then croaks when writing the second one.

Others have reported this basic phenomenon - please confirm if the device in question is > 32GB.
