So after entering "halt", wait several seconds for all writes to complete before disconnecting power. Is does not matter whether you disconnect power by unplugging or by using an off switch on the power cord. If you turn off power without shutting down the RPi to force the SD to be idle, eventually you will cause a problem. | |
