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
:

Is your Linux laptop dual-booting Windows? I am wondering if you are using the same SD-Card reader to read the card on both Windows and Linux?
This is relevant because if your Linux laptop is different it could be a problem with the SD-Card reader on your Linux machine.
Assuming your card reader works fine on Windows but not Linux, it is probably a driver issue. Linux is clearly reading the SD-Card boot sector since it is reporting information about the partitions. But if it is a hardware issue (not likely if it is working on Windows with the same card reader), it may start to read the card and then fail as soon as it starts to draw too much power or heat the card up or something.
I use the same external reader on both machines. So the reader is not the problem
