I don't really know what these mean. I thought the normal failure mode for SD cards was to go read-only, so I'm a bit lost.
Any suggestions to recover the images at least? Or is it totally dead?
I would try another reader - I have had cards that refused to be read in one laptop, but worked fine in another - maybe even try a camera? I have also had varying experiences with formatting routines - a card could not be read in my laptop, nor formatted, but in my Nikon camera, it could be formatted (vfat), and then worked fine.
Thanks everybody so far.
Per, yes, I will try it in another camera.
Carlos, yes sdc is the dodgy SD card. I'm not that gaga yet! :)
Josef, hmm maybe. See below.
jdd, Why does it want to be root, to read a device mounted under my ownership?
Anyway, I tried to mount the card again and this time it succeeded. But there are some read errors. An ls starts
[snip] Just an update to let everybody know the state of play. Since the card is now mountable with errors, it seems one possibility is a dodgy reader in my PC, so I'll get a new USB reader and see whether that works any better to recover the files. I'll let you know what I manage to retrieve if anything once it arrives. In the meantime I contacted the supplier who said they've had other people reporting problems with this particular batch of Integral cards, so they're sending me a replacement SanDisk card.
