Indeed, an SD card is in use. However, it`s relatively big and still
only 17% in-use according to df. It`s unlikely the entire card has
been written to even once. It`s a Samsung Evo Plus, so a reputable
manufacturer. The problem could be the card, but that would be at
least slightly surprising.
I`m actually more disturbed at the consistent failure of the `scope
control program working on more recent RasPiOS versions. That`s almost
certainly a software problem and it seems persistent.
There are install scripts for Windows, MacOS and Debian, naturally I`ve
used the Debian script on RasPiOS. I`ve looked at the MacOS script
to see if it might be adapable to FreeBSD, with which I`m relatively
familiar. Clearly there are path differences between MacOS and FreeBSD,
which I might be able to adjust. More worrisome is how well the Java
libraries in FreeBSD support the `scope program`s requirements. I`m not
a programmer, so anything more sophisticated than copy-paste fixes are
likely beyond me. I`ve asked on the developer`s GitHub page, no answer
yet.
If anybody`s got insights on adapting to FreeBSD please let me know.
Thanks for reading!
