[arm-allstar] Rebuilding a corrupt image - Best practices?

[Doug Crompton]

Matt,

 Your idea is the way I would do it.  First recover anything important from
the existing image if you can especially node password and config info that
has been changed considerably for reference. Burn a new SD card with the
image and then just shut down the Pi and replace the card with the new one.
It should come up on the same IP address as the address is mapped to the
mac address of the Pi. Go through the setup which should be quick. First
make sure you do an update. You could have the node back up in less than 5
minutes. The you can add back in stuff you need at your convenience.
