yesterday i finished my stress tests with Raspberry Pi 3.

Scenario:
- copy Tumbleweed on SD card (openSUSE-Tumbleweed-ARM-JeOS-raspberrypi3.aarch64-2018.02.02-Build1.2.raw, Linux 4.14.15)
- setup locales with yast
- run zypper update
- reboot
- install and remove java 1.8 in a loop for at least 1 hour

Results of the different SD cards:
Toshiba uSDHC Class 10 UHS-1 32 GB: PASS
BASETech uSDHC Class 10 16 GB: PASS
Samsung uSDHC EVO+ UHS-1 16 GB: PASS
Samsung uSDHC Class 6 32 GB: PASS
SanDisk Edge Class 4 16 GB: PASS
Kingston uSDHC Class 10 UHS-1 32 GB: PASS
QUMOX uSDHC Class 10 UHS-1 16 GB: FAIL (zypper segfaulted permantently)
Transcend uSDHC Class 10 UHS-1 32 GB: PASS

I was never able to reproduce this timeout. So i still need the feedback about the 4.15 and i a reliable test scenario.

In a github issue, i've read that badblocks could reproduce the issue more likely.

Regards
Stefan
