When I create any file, like .bash_aliases for example, and then I reboot using sudo reboot, all my changes are lost. I don't know if the card is read-only (I can actually create files).

I am running under Raspbian Jessie and I've been looking around for a solution. One I tried that did not work was to add a 'rw' before the waitreboot in /boot/cmdline.txt.

Does anybody have another idea how to fix this?

    Did you do as the top said and press enter when saving? I wasn't saving my file for a while until I learned how to do it. – FivePixels Mar 22 '16 at 18:23
  • What editor are you using to create the files? – joan Mar 22 '16 at 18:48
  • I use nano, and I ctrl-x / Y to save and quit. I have reinstalled Raspbian, I'll test tonight and report here after I've tried again! – Flag Mar 23 '16 at 7:05
  • I have same problem on all small file (seems to be a cache problem): all change are lost after reboot. I try different SD cards but same issue. Very simple to test: change same lines in /boot/config.txt, save and reboot... result: all change lost. – user44606 Apr 8 '16 at 10:23

Ok, so according to this post it seems that can happen when the card gets corrupt.
