Looks like a failed USB drive.

Hi gerald_clark
Actually he's using an SD card. Is there anything special or different maybe driver wise verses a thumb drive?

Yes, but connected via USB.
It could be the card reader or the card, or the card being improperly removed and inserted in a connected card reader.

I do not believe the USB device has failed, for the following reasons:

  • The device is attached and removed properly each time (all file systems are unmounted prior to disconnecting)
  • Ubuntu can read the device each time, without having to disconnect the device or restart the VM.
  • When TinyCore is restarted, the device shows up normally

And yes, this is an SD card which is connected through a USB card reader. No special drivers are being used on either VM.

Hi bbenson
What happens if you try it on bare metal, take the VM out of the equation?
