Same here. I use the kind of scotch tape that can be written on.
Put the end of the tape over the back edge of the card and double
it over, sticky side in, so it adheres to front and back of the
card with an overlap of maybe 2 mm. Then trim the edges so it's
no wider than the card. The "tail" can be as long as you like.
Usually an inch or two is enough.

Getting the tape to fold flat is probably the hardest part.

The tails don't stay stuck forever, but last long enough to be
quite useful. Being transparent one can't write on both sides,
but a sufficiently dextrous person might embed a slip of paper
for sake of opacity. I'm not that dextrous 8-(

Thanks for reading,

OK.
Try "painting" the micro SD with Tipex then writing on it.

Jan,

> This also works, pencil writing on the SDcard adaptor

The "SDcard adapter" is not the problem, I can, and already have stuck
descriptive labels to them.

The problem is that I have the need to mark the micro-SD cards themselves.
Mine are mostly black on both sides, with white text on the front, and a
smooth, shiny backside.

IOW, a backside onto which pens do not even want to write, and a frontside
which leaves /very/ little space to write anything. Couple that with having
a problem with writing legible, and than /that/ small I have quite a problem
....

> I dunno, dmesg shows /dev/sdc1 and /dev/sdc2 on my laptop

:-) My Desktop runs windows. No 'dmesg' on it.

But I've just taken a look at what 'dmesg' shows on my RPi, and am afraid
that I do not even understand a quarter of it. Sorry.

Only when I inserted the USB dongle with another micro-SD card I was able to
see an "sda", and "fdisk /dev/sda" showed five partitions on it, numbered 1,
2, 5, 6, 7, with one W98 fat16, one W95 fat32, two Linux and one extended.

I take it that the two Linux partitions where the ones auto-mounted as
"boot" and "root"

I've not tried to mount either of the "w95" partitions, as I am not at all
sure what would happen.

Botton line : being able to look into the w95 "restore" partition - just to
check and/or change a files name - is not something I would (currently)
easily be able to do.

Also, although I /think/ I found the booted micro-SD card under "mmc", but
when I tried to "sudo fdisk /dev/mmc" all I got was a 'not found' error.

Regards,
Rudy Wieser

0.5mm mechanical pencil and very abbreviated names. This is far from
perfect - it rubs off over time. I'm in the habit of attempting to
mark everything in pencil though, whether it seems likely to work or
not, and usually it can at least be viewed by tilting with a light
source behind you and seeing the reflection of the graphite.

Where there's print on the card, it can usually be overcome by just
going back-and-forth a few times while drawing the letters, so that
they're bolder and therefore stand out more.

It works well enough for me that I mainly just keep my Micro SD
cards in a little tub and fish them out as required. It does help
that they're a bunch bought as a bulk lot of used cards on Ebay,
and many have different manufacturer's markings.

Alternatively maybe thin vinyl decals would work? Maybe you could
custom-cut them with a "Cricut" or similar machine if you have
access to one (not tested - I'm still waiting to find myself a
cheap second-hand one of these to mess around with one day)?

I've done the same, with pencels and "sharpie's". And yes, thats
pretty-much the problem I have too : it rubs off/smears out /way/ too
easily. :-(

I think I've might have found a solution for a number of problems all at
once though : a Dymo LetraTag (a handheld, battery-fed model). I don't have
to write anything myself, its black letters on a white background, and its
smallest font allows for quite a number of letters in two lines. Although I
had my doubts if the plastic labels themselves would be thin enough they do
do seem to be.

Funny: I've had the LettraTag for a while now (labeled the SD "sleeves" with
it), but always assumed that the labels would be to thick for the micro-SD
card to be able to fit in the RPi or its "sleeve". As it turns out my
presumption made a fool outof me. :-( :-)

Rudy Wieser

I've not tried, but given what you've tried that hasn't worked, have you
considered a quick blast of spray paint to create a writable surface? If
you want something more controllable, perhaps a thin coat of white-out
(remember that from typing class?) would work.

Yes, much easier and less messy than spray paint: correction fluid /
tipp-ex / wite-out is the way to go.

Yep, tried those too. :-)

Didn't really want to attach itself to the (smooth, shiny) surface I tried
them on, and, after having dried, effectivily crumbled off when touched
normally.

Martin,

I've not tried that. But I rather not as I've got little idea in how thick
that that plastic layer is and presuming I could easily destroy the chip -
or even just the microscopic wires connecting it to the rest.

But I think I found a workable solution in using the (plastic, rather thin)
labels produced by a hand-held Dymo LetraTag. And added, rather large, pre
(next to being able to easily remove them) : I do not need to try to
scribble the text myself. :-)

I had the same experience when I tried that a couple of years or so back.

I use paper sticky labels foldered over on them selves and sticking to a
few millimeters of each side of the microSD card. With care they last a
while are are easy to replace when they fail. I haven't found the extra
thickness interfers with inserting the card.

That is certainly a sensible approach.

I've just taken a close look at both a Sandisk and a Kingston uSD card.
Both seem to have the same structure: I think the body of the thing, which
has the raised 'handle' and the writing on it, is a single, solid piece of
plastic. I think the contacts and connectors to the chip are plated on the
other side, and then overlaid with a layer of black plastic: a careful
feel with a fingernail shows that the plain black, shiny lower surface
overlays the contacts: the contacts are inset slightly relative to the
undersurface.

Obviously, doing anything to the undersurface could damage the uSD card,
but carefully sanding or painting the top surface shouldn't damage it.

Neat, though it might make the uSD little thick to go into some sockets
I've seen.

I keep my unused uSD cards in the standard SD card adapters they come
with. So far, the few I have stay in the devices I bought them for (Pi2,
Pi zero, and a Medion PNA), but if I kept a library of them,I think I'd
write on the standard card adapter and do something cryptic with coloured
dots or a single letter to show which uSD card should be in a particular
standard SD card adapter.

That is why I never tried the, as far as I could tell, bulky paper ones (had
some numbered "dots" laying around which I used for marking other stuff),
but forgot all about the Dymo plastic ones.

By the way, I've tried to the label on both the back and the front side.
While putting them on the front side seems to make it a bit more difficult
to put the card into the RPi slot, I'm a bit hesitant to put them on the
back (where they do not seem to give as much trouble), as that moves the
cards contacts further away from the contacts on the RPi ...

Rudy Wieser

Good point.

All my uSD cards have glossy black back surfaces.

Those of my uSD cards that aren't in RPis look to have a matt enough front
surface for good paint or felt-tip adhesion.

One of my Kingstons has a self-adhesive 8mm coloured coloured dot, written
on with a biro, attached to its front surface. It slips into the full-size
SD adapter with plenty of clearance and the dot is showing no sign at all
of coming off.

Personally I use a Dymo-style thermal labelling machine, the tape
does need trimming down but in a small font size I get get a two
lines of a word or two each on the front. I undersize my labels
to keep them clear of the very edges of the card but that is more
wear resistance than anything else. Failing that I'd resort to my
selection of small, quick drying paints with built in brushes for
colour coding. Other people know them as nail varnish.

.... not so bad if you had added sequence numbers AND had a card sorter
handy.

However, I discovered all that later: my first computer was an Elliott 503
that spoke Algol 60 and was programmed with 8 track paper tape written and
edited on a Friden Flexowriter. Dropped your program? No problem: get a
grip on the end of the tape, throw the tape down the nearest stair well
and use a tape winder. Job done.

Consequently my subsequent introduction to 80 column cards and 12-key
punches was quite a shock. Didn't take long to learn that having the 30 or
so cards that defines a skeleton COBOL program in my briefcase could save
a lot of time when bug fixing.

Exactly. I thought the name was familiar and noticed sometime back
threads from him follow a similar pattern. Ask a question and then keep
poking holes in any replies. Lather, rinse, repeat.

My reply about using WSL etc. was hopefully for people other than Rudy
who may find it helpful to have a free Linux machine on their Windows
machine to help them with their Pi endeavours. I didn't expect Rudy to
actually install it and use it. It would spoil his ability to drag out
this thread.

mm0fmf,

> Ask a question and then keep poking holes in any replies.

In my nick of the woods thats called "weighing pros and cons" and keeping
the suggester in the loop. An attempt at exchanging information. Not all
"you could possibly try {X}" suggestions are good, and not all of them are
workable to me - as I have mentioned. Or, in your parlance "poked a hole
in".

> My reply about using WSL etc. was hopefully for people other than Rudy who

Lets go thru your "suggestion", shall we ?

You suggested to install WSL, without bothering to consider if that is
actually possible on my 'puter - you where able(?), so everyone else is too.

You suggested to install software, without considering what my stance in
regard to installing random stuff is - you simply do not care.

You suggested to install a heavyweight program/framework just so I can do on
a Windows machine what I already can do on my RPi - Which is pain daft.

All that because I mentioned that the suggestion of putting a file somewhere
that I could than use to identify the uSD card doesn't quite work for both
the RPi and my Windows machines ? And a problem that was already
nullified by me physically labeling the uSD card itself - as I posted the
day before ?

Besides that, accessing those partitions /should/ be something the RPI
should be able to do itself, as it 1) created those partition itself 2)
already accesses those partitions as part of its boot process.

The only question is how.

I wrote what I tried and what results I got- hoping to get some more
information/help so I could access either of the mentioned "w95" partitions
(that I saw using fdisk), so I could put a file there.

But instead of doing that you thought it would be a good idea to "suggest"
(or should I say : demand ?) that I implement your solution which involves
installing /lots/ of stuff on another computer *just so I can access a Linux
partition* ?

Kid, thats daft. Over-engeneered stupidity.

Also :KISS. The less changes that need to be made to effect a solution, the
less chance something wil go wrong. Thats not rocket science.

Regards,
Rudy Wieser

P.s.
Don't try to bullshit people here by claiming that /you already knew/ (how?)
I would not install it, but just did it to suggest random other people to do
so.
All you did there is showing that you purposely created a situation to be
able to complain about it to someone else (Dumas). Which makes you, at
best, an ass.

How is this done? I recently tried and found the following problem:

I have Windows 10, incompatible with W11. Can I do it?

My non windows solution has always been to plug the SD card adapter into
a USB socket of one of my other rPis.
