I have a Lex NEO CV863A from Hacom. I bought my CF card based on recommendations for Lexar on this page: http://www.openbrick.org/openbrick/wiki/cf/view
I have a Lexar Media 512MB CF card p/n 2175 Rev A. Everything was going very well, installed a uClibc system primarily using the CD ISO on the CF card and the firewall was working fine, though not in production yet. Recently I made some Shorewall changes and backed them up but when I rebooted the next time there was no shorewall. It turned out that the shorwall.lrp file was corrupt. When I try: tar zxvf shorwall.lrp I get: tar: Invalid gzip magic Soon after I made a new folder called lrpbackup on the CF card. It shows up though as lrpbacku Also when I try ls in that folder my whole SSH session gets corrupted. I also can not delete the folder or its contents. Also when I now try to write to the CF card in this machine, everything returns: Cannot create directory `lrpb': Read-only file system Now I know that I have multiple things that could be wrong, but since my timeline is very short, I'm supposed to put this FW in production in a few days, I'm pursuing them in parallel. One possibility is that the CF card I bought is not ideal. Another is that the Machine has an issue. Another is that this CF card may be bad. Some questions: Does any one have any specific recommendations on a CF card? Does anyone have an alternate LRP backup script that keeps backups kind of like rotating logs (backing up the existing LRP to another folder and renaming *.lrp.0 type thing)? Is there anything in hdsupp.lrp to check the health of a drive, like scandisk? Any help, ideas, or shared experiences would be helpful. I did call Hacom and the do use Lexar but mainly use Kingston Elite Pro CF cards now. I'm thinking of just buying two of them.
