The pi was powered down without an orderly shutdown a couple of months ago. It took me HOURS to fix the corrupted files on the SD card.
You and Evan have spent HOURS agonizing over how to approach this project as it is, and gotten nowhere. Further, about that previous incident, in the name of God WHY did it take HOURS to rewrite a bootable Linux image on an SD card and restore your files? That, too, is a five-minute fix! And even further, I believe Evan said the machine had dropped off of the network. In this situation, you must assume that the contents of the SD card are already corrupt, so plan on doing that five minutes of work anyway.
If you would like to take responsibility for this project, feel free to step up.
Oh good heavens, believe me I would, were it not for the fact that I'm five hours away. Anything would be better than watching this debacle.
Otherwise, just silently hit the delete key on emails in this thread.
I'm sorry Bill, but I feel compelled to help people whose welfare I care about stop hitting themselves in the head with hammers. I've told you and Evan what you need to do. It's up to you to either do it, or keep hitting yourselves in the head with hammers. -Dave -- Dave McGuire, AK4HZ New Kensington, PA
