Our sys admin was able to get our system back up to working condition with the following script:
#!/bin/sh sync echo echo "THIS WILL REMOUNT, FSCK, AND REBOOT YOUR COMPUTER, YOU HAVE 5s TO CTRL+C" echo sleep 6 sync;sync mount -n -o remount,ro / || exit 1 fsck /dev/mmcblock1 echo echo "REBOOTING IN 5s" sleep 6 reboot If this doesn't work let me know. We operate mobile, so unfriendly shutdowns happen and we wanted to get back up and running in the field. There may be a better way of doing this - so I would love feedback from the community as well! --Laura On Mon, Sep 10, 2012 at 5:33 PM, G Jones <[email protected]> wrote: > I had some luck solving this problem by putting the SD card in another > machine and using fsck.ext2 on it to fix the corrupt FS.
