SDXC card reader not working properly

[Bruno Luis dos Santos Costa]

I have tried to use a 8GB flash and it works without any flaw in ubuntu 20.04, kernel 5.4.0-58-generic (machine: Ideapad 130s-11IGM), but i need to use my 128GB SDXC card and it only works in my windows system in the same machine. I am "able" to copy files to it in ubuntu (to the 128GB SDXC card) but most of the copies appear as corrupted files, which does not happen in windows. The 8GB card had been tested by f3 in ubuntu and h2testw in windows, and the SDXC had been tested by h2testw in windows (testing the SDXC with f3 in ubuntu causes input/output error), so i assume there are no problems in the sd cards.

I think that this problem is related to (or almost the same as)

What filesystem does the card use?

[Bruno Luis dos Santos Costa (anlinuxuser)]

it uses exFAT and in gnome-disks the Partition Type is NTFS/exFAT/HPFS and the contents are exFAT. i found weird that partition type shows NTFS/exFAT/HPFS and the contents exFAT. But who knows? (i am not very proficient in computing).

obs: i did format it as exFAT in windows 10 in another machine with default setting in allocation unit size. I was able to use it normally with any windows machine i tested.

[Bruno Luis dos Santos Costa (anlinuxuser)]

Tested my 8GB Micro SDHC recently formatted with exFAT. All files transfered flawlessly, even with the Partition Type NTFS/exFAT/HPFS and exFAT content description in gnome-disks, and, most important (at least i think so), no "cannot verify signal voltage switch" in dmesg. By dmesg i got:

[ 101.565119] mmc1: new high speed SDHC card at address e624
[ 101.570865] mmcblk1: mmc1:e624 SU08G 7.40 GiB
[ 101.587376] mmcblk1: p1

but the problem persists with the SDXC card reader.

[Kai-Heng Feng (kaihengfeng)]

Which driver provides the exFAT functionality? FUSE driver or in-kernel driver?

[Bruno Luis dos Santos Costa (anlinuxuser)]

Sorry for taking so much time to answer. I did uninstall Ubuntu Budgie 20.04 and installed Xubuntu 20.04 so i do not even use the exact same system anymore. Unfortunately i cannot test my 128GB sdxc card now, and i do not know how to answer your question properly.

All i can say for now is that i do not see anything with fuse in the name when i run lsmod. I think the module that is working now (with 8gb card exFAT) is rtsx_pci or sdhci, but i am not sure anyway.

I can send any new info after getting my sdxc. again, i do not even know how to answer your question properly, any help would be appreciated.

It looks more like this bug:

[Kai-Heng Feng (kaihengfeng)]

Please test latest mainline kernel:
https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v5.11-rc5/amd64/

[Bruno Luis dos Santos Costa (anlinuxuser)]

Installed the mainline kernel 5.11-rc5 and the "cannot verify signal voltage" persists. Also now i have the new message "Deprecated parameter 'namecase'".

by dmesg i got

[ 102.774340] mmc1: card e624 removed
[ 151.977592] mmc1: cannot verify signal voltage switch
[ 152.103194] mmc1: new ultra high speed SDR104 SDXC card at address aaaa
[ 152.111605] mmcblk1: mmc1:aaaa SB128 119 GiB
[ 152.131962] mmcblk1: p1
[ 157.293946] exfat: Deprecated parameter 'namecase'
[ 258.519565] mmc1: card aaaa removed
[ 321.168230] mmc1: cannot verify signal voltage switch
[ 321.293643] mmc1: new ultra high speed SDR104 SDXC card at address aaaa

[ 321.306774] mmcblk1: p1
[ 327.189197] exfat: Deprecated parameter 'namecase'

Again, i can "use" the card but, as soon as large data or any data is put inside some directories in the sdxc card the data get corrupted.

if i use a sdhc card (8GB) everything works fine and, by dmesg

[ 2041.881666] mmc1: new high speed SDHC card at address e624
[ 2041.887000] mmcblk1: mmc1:e624 SU08G 7.40 GiB
[ 2041.920884] mmcblk1: p1
[ 2048.181250] exfat: Deprecated parameter 'namecase'

should i use apport-collect with that kernel too?

thanks in advance
