Ah, ok!

Quote:Also, I did 2 things in between multiple 'pull plugs' because xbian hangs/can't be accessed anymore:

Did from SSH a 'sudo reboot'. On the screen I see Kodi closing down and it is showing the Xbian log while saying 'unmounting fs'. However, it stays on that screen forever

If a process still holds a file open, umount will how work. So, please check which process keeps file open after you have stopped Kodi by running command sudo lsof /mountpoint/of/your/usbstick

Quote:After another hang up with Kodi, I checked 'df -h' through SSH, but that command makes Raspbian to fail completely, I can't use the cmdline anymore at all.

So, could be this one USB-stick the culprit? What would be the best method to check?
- Put the stick in a Windows PC and do file check?
- Copy the data-backup on pc to my 2nd stick with the video files and check if it still has issues playing form there?

Yes, copy files to the 'good' stick would be good idea

Or read all files from that 'bad' stick from the Pi with command

for f in $(find /mountpoint/of/your/usbstick -type f); do echo reading $f; cp -v $f /dev/null; done

plz note that this command can not deal with spaces in filename/dirs
