Correcting an sd-card?

[Linux for blind general discussion]

Hi Chime,

You need to use a command adapted to the file system.

Which is it? this command
lsblk -lo fstype /dev/sdg1
should give you the answer.
If for instance it is: vfat
this command should be: fsck.vfat

But if you need to run it as root (or using sudo).

To know more type:
man fsck.vfat
