@sdetweil well that gives me a weekend project then. Is the card reusable with a wipe or do I need to buy a new one?
-
@motdog Probably easier and cheaper to buy a new card. There are some tools out there that you can use to check for bad sectors. But again it is probably cheaper and easier to buy a new one.

@mumblebaj Thanks, thats what I figured

@motdog It is always a good idea to make a backup of a running system so you can clone it onto a new sd in case.

In addition to having a img backup, it’s always a good idea to backup the config file and custom css file.
To avoid card corruptions, always SSH into the RPi and perform a sudo shutdown instead of just pulling the plug.

@retroflex i had one card suddenly go read-only…
-
@retroflex I used the shutdown from MMM-remotecontrol to shut it down. 8 did have a backup of config & css on laptop so it was just reinstalling modules for the most part
