[arm-allstar] Repair Hamvoip FS

[Travis French]

Good Afternoon,

I too have run into this issue recently and now have an additional issue. This is on a mobile node and it is not my first time. In the past, I have just done a full reinstall. I believe it may be from unexpected power cycling in a short time frame. I have shutdown module inline but, that only works properly if there is a clean and full startup.

This time around to keep from doing the full install, I have run the file system check as suggested below and it has the node back up and running but only partially. The problem now is that it is not seeing the internet. I can Supermon into it but that is it. I cannot initiate any connections. I ran the update script and it informed me that there is no internet connectivity. I have tried connecting with both my truck's hotspot and my phone's hotspot. In both cases, it is the same. Supermon yes, internet no.

Has anyone encountered this before? Is it a sign of more severe damage?
Might there be a second step the this potential work around that I am missing?
Do I need to recreate my wpa_supplicant.conf file? This I was thinking of trying next.

Any help would be greatly appreciated before I do I fresh install.

Thanks in advance,

Travis - K2PCB

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.
