My Raspberry Pi, on which I host a Minecraft server, suddenly froze. I cannot not SSH in, nor can I join the Minecraft server. I ran the Minecraft server in Docker, via itzg/docker-minecraft-server. I turned off the Raspberry Pi, took out its microsd and plugged it into my PC, to at least attempt to run the Minecraft server from my PC to see if I still have the data. I tried to copy it with cp, but I got an input-output error. Could this be the filesystem’s fault? And how can I fix this? If you need any additional info about this crash, please do not hesitate to ask.
“He’s dead Jim”
MicroSD cards aren’t designed for a lot of writes. Your card it probably dead. If you must use a RPI with a SD card you should get an enterprise grade MicroSD
I’ll get an M.2 HAT and an ssd
That works although its not all that cost effective
SSDs are crazy cheap, what are you talking about? I think the added reliability and speed is absolutely worth it
Raspberry pis are expensive in general. That’s what I meant my not cost effective
100€ for such a performant device (for the price) seems like a good deal to me
You can get more from a old PC for around the same cost. If it works for you that’s good. I want to point out there are other options
While I haven’t personally tried it, I’ve heard people have issues with cooling when using the M.2 hat, especially when using their Pi for intensive applications (like hosting a Minecraft server). I’d honestly recommend just getting a 2.5" USB drive enclosure and an SSD. Costs about the same amount of money without the drawback of poor cooling. You can use it with any case, since it just connects via USB. I have been running my Pi this way for years (in fact I have never used an SD card in it).
I think “endurance” cards are where you get something reasonably non-self-destructive, for a modest premium.
The enterprise cards are pricey but the can take a beating and have a large write capacity
