Hi,

I have Alpine Linux installed on a Raspberry Pi4.

$ sudo apk upgrade
85 errors; 852 MiB in 201 packages

$ sudo apk -v fix
Gives a whole ton of errors, all of which are along these lines:

I've used linux-firmware-advansys as an example because it's a fairly
short number of errors.

What filesystem are you using?

Are you using a good SD card?  Sometimes these errors pop up because the ext3/
ext4 filesystem driver gives up and remounts the root filesystem read-only due 
to iowait.  That can happen with a failing SD card, for example.
