i have just bought a kingston 2gb mmc mobile dv card, but i think it might be broken.

yesterday i was copying music on to it (using a usb card reader) and some of them got corrupted.

from linux fsck gave quite a few errors.

i reformatted the card.

i have tried making big files of zeros using
Code:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/media/usbdisk/zero bs=1024 count=1000000
if i read this back with hexdump, towards the end there are a lot of non zero bytes.

i am now trying copying some ubuntu .iso files on so i can check the md5sums.

is there a better way to check a mmc card? should i just return it as defective?

Could be a bad card reader.

Which filsesystem do you use ? The default FAT16 ?or did you formated with FAt32, JFS/ext3/ext2...?

I had the same problem with my 2 gig MMC kingston, but here there was a problem with the filesystem, I fixed that on my laptop and then everything works fine again.

reformated it and mounted it in the nokia 770 over usb and i still get the problems. so that rules out the card reader.

tried fat32, fat16 and ext3. no better.

seems like it must be the card. thanks for ideas.
