[arm-allstar] all changes to system lost on reboot

[LaRoy McCann]

This is a very strange situation.  I have a system that has been running
for years.  I recently made some changes to rpt.conf and also created ssh
keys to another system.  Upon reboot of the system all my changes are gone
and the file date for rpt.conf is back to the date it was before making any
changes (june 8, 2022).  All my ssh key files are also gone.  I created a
new file in /etc/asterisk and upon reboot it is gone.

I don't see how this is happening, but I know it is technically possible.

The flash card can't be write protected or the system would not run or I
would not be able to write files to the system.  I know there are some
tmpfs file systems, but / is not one of them.  I even issued the sync
command 3 times just to make sure cache was flushed to the flash drive.

Has anyone ever seen such a thing as this?

I am going to redo this system from scratch but I am one that would like to
know WHY?
