[PROBLEM] Xbian is corrupted upon reboot

[johnchristopher]

If the SD card is faulty, shouldn't there be problems with raspbian as well ? I know it could be random but xbian is corrupted every time I reboot it.

Now that I think about the tests I performed earlier I seem to recall that logging through ssh, rebooting and relogging on xbian seemed to work (although it took some time for the rasp to be visible on the network).

I have other cards lying around and I think I had the same results. Will try again later in the evening.

I'll try this and 'll report later:
- ssh'ing into xbian and rebooting to see if corruption occurs ;
- just booting xbian, not changing any settings and see if it reboots ;
- erasing SD cards with https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_3/ http://elinux.org/R-Pi_Troubleshooting#SD_cards ;
- trying other SD cards.

It just booted and rebooted three times (with xbmc settings changed to make sure something is written on the card) without any problems.

I think "- erasing SD cards with https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_3/ http://elinux.org/R-Pi_Troubleshooting#SD_cards ;" did it. My understanding is that partitions alignement (or something related) was messed up by my successive install/reinstall of xbian and raspbian.

Note: I still had the corruption problem before formating with the sdcard.org utility (wether or not I change settings in xbmc) so I have high hope my reasonning is correct.

It doesn't look like a xbian problem although I don't understand yet why installing raspbian on those cards and rebooting, writing on it, etc. didn't trigger the problem.

So it looks like it's fixed but I am not 100% sure.
