Acording what I read, rsyslog is usually used to process logs and send them to another locations, either local (external storage, specific partition, etc.) or remote (logging server, for example). However I'm trying to configure rsyslog to store the logs in an external storage device (SD card) but I'm having problems with the sdhci driver in the kernel. First you have here the rsyslog configuration.
As you can see logs are being stored in /data/logs, which is actually the SD card as lsblk output shows. Nevertheless, I can see a strange thing in the dmesg. Apparently the kernel is creating the node /dev/mmcblk0 for external storage which is listed as mmc0:
jul 26 11:03:40 pabx2 kernel: mmc0: new ultra high speed SDR104 SDXC card at address 59b4
jul 26 11:03:40 pabx2 kernel: mmcblk0: mmc0:59b4 SD 58.9 GiB
jul 26 11:03:40 pabx2 kernel: mmcblk0: p1
However the sdhci dumps are regarding mmc1! which is the internal storage, not the external one!
jul 26 11:50:18 pabx2 kernel: mmc1: Timeout waiting for hardware interrupt.

Why do you think is this? What has the hardware interrupt for the internal storage device to do with the external storage? When these dumps are triggered the system (Debian 10 Buster) becomes extremely slow, to the point it's inoperative, out-of-use.
Thank you all.
