I found that I am unable to mount the ostensibly ext4 Linux partition generated by Pi-Gen.

At first I thought that maybe this was because of this bug with 64-bit hosts but even the Dockerized build process seems to produce images that I can't mount.

Relevant output of sudo fdisk -l:

Disk /dev/sdf: 59.48 GiB, 63864569856 bytes, 124735488 sectors
Disk model: MicroSD/M2      
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disklabel type: dos
Disk identifier: 0x9cdfcf86

Device     Boot  Start     End Sectors  Size Id Type
/dev/sdf1         8192  532479  524288  256M  c W95 FAT32 (LBA)
/dev/sdf2       532480 3932159 3399680  1.6G 83 Linux

Relevant output of sudo mount /dev/sdf2 /mnt/simpleaq:

mount: /mnt/simpleaq: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdf2, missing codepage or helper program, or other error.

It is noteworthy that I can mount the boot sector, /dev/sdf1.

@bensonk, is it clear to you what I might be missing here? Feel free to try this procedure with one of the build artifacts yourself and see if you can mount the Linux partition.

Ok, whatever the problem is: it also exists on the official RPiOS lite build. Maybe this is just a question about what the correct mount command is.

Ok, I confirmed that the issue was actually that the circa-2008 MicroSD card had failed. Documentation is updated and this PR is ready for review.
