Raspberry Pi OS • Latest OS Lite bricks 20% of my SD cards

Hello,

I've installed around 300+ raspberry pi 4B using a Raspberry PI OS Lite bullseye image, and all of them has worked perfectly.

I've switched to the latest OS Lite Bookworm about a month ago, and now out of 10 installs, in average 2 of them ends up with broken filesystem about 1 minute after the first launch post initialization. It throws ext4 errors, and the RPI hangs. If I restart the RPI then I'm just getting the bootloader.

I'm not seeing any error during the initialization.

It's the only thing that has changed in my setup, same model of SD Card, etc...

When I look it afterward, all is left is a 1.8GB FAT partition called "CARD" which is fully empty. I haven't been able to reformat these SD cards to their former size so far.

I would blame the partition resize during the initialization, but it's just a wild guess.

Is that a known issue ? Is there a fix planned ? I really like the improvements brought with Bookworm, but this it making my life miserable.

Thanks for your help !
