I have a couple deer trail cameras. They use SDHC cards. I have |
4 |
several of these. I was playing with one that hasn't been used in a |
5 |
while and was going to set it up to use for other things. I put it in |
6 |
my card reader and opened it with Dolphin. I then right clicked on the |
7 |
directory and chose move to trash. When it was done, I unmounted it |
8 |
using Device Notifier. I unplugged the card reader and plugged it back |
9 |
in again. When I mount it with Device Notifier and opened it with |
10 |
Dolphin, the files were still there. They didn't delete or move |
11 |
anywhere. There was no error either. Also, refreshing the tab in |
12 |
Dolphin doesn't work either. I thought maybe it just cached what was |
13 |
there and wasn't updating so I did a F5 to force it. Tried it several |
14 |
times actually. Also, before I unmount the card, it shows the files are |
15 |
deleted. They just reappear after a unmount and remount again. |
16 |
|
17 |
I thought I'd use a little more brute force. I started the process over |
18 |
again the usual way. I then went to a Konsole which is logged in as |
19 |
root, I did a rm -rfv for the main directory on the card. It showed it |
20 |
deleted all the files. I then did the sync command, to make sure |
21 |
everything was done, and told Device Notifier to unmount it. I |
22 |
unplugged it and plugged it back up again. When I mount it and open it |
23 |
with Dolphin, there the files are. Even as root and not moving to |
24 |
trash, the files don't delete. |
25 |
|
26 |
Keep in mind, I can write new files to the little cards. So I'm pretty |
27 |
sure it is not a write protection problem or a permissions problem. |
28 |
It's just a can't delete or move to trash problem. |

Anyone ever ran into something like this? When rm -rfv doesn't work, |
31 |
I'm not sure how much more brute force there is short of a hammer. |
