I have a SanDisk 256GB extreme pro SD card for my camera. It works perfectly fine with the camera and with windows, but when I instert it into the card reader on linux (fedora 38) I can’t copy any files from it:
cp: Fehler beim Lesen von ‘…/DCIM/112_FUJI/DSCF2001.RAF’: Eingabe-/Ausgabefehler
Loosely translated:
cp: error while reading from ‘…/DCIM//112_FUJI/DSCF2001.RAF’: input/output error
the card is automatically mounted and shows up in the file explorer.
The fdisk command return this:

I tried following this: https://www.reddit.com/r/raspberry_pi/comments/habv0q/fixing_linux_sd_card_reader_issues_inputoutput/
but it didn’t change anything
Does anyone have any idea?
EDIT:
I used the wrong fdisk command. I used /dev/sdg1 as opposed to /dev/sdg which is the actual drive. Here is the output of fdisk -l /dev/sdg:

It’s a bit weird, it looks like the output of fdisk -l /dev/sdg indicates that your SD card is formatted with an HPFS/NTFS/exFAT file system, which is not the typical format for camera SD cards. Camera SD cards are usually formatted as FAT32 or exFAT.
I recommend that you backup everything on that sd card and reformat it to exfat or fat32 yourself on a linux system.
I just reformatted it on my linux machine. So I choose exFAT again, because thats what it was before, that’s what I know the camera can handle and I have the exact same problem… I think I just surrender and import my photos on my laptop all the time…
The partition type after a format is btw still
NTFS/exFAT/HPFS. So that is just a compatibility thing for it to work on basically all systems I think…Try wiping the drive and then reinserting it. If it still looks the same you either have a failing card or its been put in read only mode at a hardware level.
The card is definitely not broken, if works on windows and in the camera…

Try fat32. I don’t have any more ideas.
The value displayed by fdisk is actually just the textual representation of the numeric partition type you can set when partitioning (7 in this case).
@BentiGorlich
have you tried fat32 instead?
No I have not. Maybe I will in the next days. But as I said I kinda surrendered…
