THX for recommending solutions! However the problem sort of resolved itself. Shortly after I wrote the last post my SD card suddenly died.
Strange effect, it's still completely readable but any write attempts to the card don't work anymore, I guess something in the write electronics broke. There is not write protect switch on the card and I tried on different machines and with different card reader, all the same.

Murphy's law

I know this annoying 'feature' very well. About 2 years ago, 3 Samsung micro-sd cards died, almost at the same time. All were read only. IMO this is a bug in Samsung's sd-card controller, so I changed vendor.

Quote:So I had to reinstall the Raspi on a new media, I pulled the latest image and now it's in fact uncompressed and I can mount it on my other linux machines. And as I was sort of sick of having to deal with not-so-long-lived sd cards I enabled booting from USB stick on my Raspi and now operate it with a separately plugged stick.

But you should be aware, that USB sticks are not much better than sd-cards
