[arm-allstar] Repair Hamvoip FS

[David McGough]

Hi Tony,

Yes, you can check / repair the filesystem on an SD card if you've got a 
second Linux system available and a USB SD card reader/writer. I do this 
regularly and it works.

What you'll need to do is plug the SD card, via the USB reader, into your 
second Linux box and then run the fsck.ext4 command to repair the 
filesystem.

For example, if you perform this action from a second RPi running HamVoIP, 
the command would be:

fsck.ext4 -fy /dev/sda2

Note that the '-f' option says to force checking the card and the 'y' 
means to always answer yes to any questions.

Once the check is complete, reinstall the SD card on the original system 
and give it  another try.
