D State Burning SD Card

jack4888 · 05-13-2018, 12:05 AM

When I tried burning banana-pi image file to a 16Gb SD card, the dd if=pi.img of=/dev/mmcblk0 bs=1M, my system worked for a few minutes. htop command shows dd the "D" state. Minutes later linux became unresponsive to keyboard or mouse inputs or even timer interrupts.
Is there any resolution to this??

would be nice to open a new thread instead of using a 15 years old one (not to speak about the post #11)

Why? The problem is the same and remains unsolved...

I do appreciate post #11, though

i saw the same just yesterday.
and now i learned that everything is fine; dd goes to sleep because the hard drive is slow, then it wakes up again and continues doing what it does.

Moved the above posts to new thread from https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...tatus-d-44989/ which is a necro thread

"necro thread" -- good one, never heard or read that one before. Did you invent it? How do you define it exactly?

onebuck · 05-16-2018, 08:18 AM

Necro as in dead.

Sure, I know the meaning, but I never saw the use you put it to in a forum. By the way from when on is a thread dead? The original thread had no [solved] tag and was sputtering on and off over the years -- perhaps more a zombi

...and the new OP never returned.

maybe this thread should be re-attached to the old one, then wait for another decade for somebody else to revive it...

Ahh, don't be hasty ...
