Relevant log output

- Checkbox session(s) (located in `/var/tmp/checkbox-ng/sessions/`, you usually want to select the most recent one)

- logs from the impacted components (e.g. `lsblk` if this is related to an issue when testing a disk...); a safe option is to install and run `sosreport` to gather as much log as possible.

Hello @cvelloth and sorry for the long silence.

From the top of my head, we don't support exfat-partitionned drives because, historically, exfat was not officially supported on Linux. This changed a few years ago but we have not looked into that since then.

The usual workaround is to format the pen drive or SD card using fat or ext4. If you have access to a computer with Ubuntu installed on it, you can use the Disks program to do so.

Hi Pierre,

This issue was solved after formatting the SD card. Thank you.
