L5 SDcard encrypted with LUKS recently not recognized or mounted

Hardware Librem 5

I have a 64GB ext4 formatted SDCard that worked, but as of last week and i believe maybe after recent update it is no longer recognized and no longer mounts. This is also the first time in a year, or ever since initially setting up the SDCard, that i have had an issue with the L5 SDCard not beeing recognized by PureOS 10.

It still shows up under Disks:

no-media

Just wondering if anybody has experienced that. gparted -l shows:

Model: Generic SD/MMC Storage Card (sd/mmc)
Disk /dev/mmcblk0boot0: 4194kB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B

I should also say when i mount the SD Card in my desktop Ubuntu computer there are no issues and LUKS just works. All partition tables exist and drive can be mounted via LUKS and there is no data corruption.

Never mind fixed with classical solution.

One layer of black electric tape on the back of the SD Card.

Just an observation, the larger capacity cards, like the 1TB model, seem to be thicker. I am surprised that the tape did not make it too thick to fit.

easy to get in, not so easy to get out, so best is to use a slightly thinner tape, plus if the card is thicker 1TB as you say, probably no tape needed
