Re: [shr-unstable] omgps track disappearance
Hi jeremy, I can confirm omgps does not issue any 'rm' commands. Do you link .omgps or other folds to some SD card partition? If so, that may be caused by hardware failure. I has similar bad experience, with SD card corruption. Check /media/ to see if your partitions are mounted. If you have a card reader, unplug SD card and try restore from a PC. May your dear data with you. best regards, mqy jeremy jozwik wrote: hello list. just saturday i went on a fairly long trip which i tracked via omgps. just this morning i was reviewing the track. and now, only a few minutes ago i was looking around in the track folder and discovered there was no files of any size. along with that /.omgps seems to have disappeared as well. im pritty peeved off that my tracks are gone, is there any hope of getting them back?

Re: [shr-unstable] omgps track disappearance
jerem, I mean omgps does not auto delete normal files such as track log. As of recovery, I know EXT3 is difficult to recover :( Read carefully including comments! mqy jeremy jozwik wrote: On Mon, Jul 20, 2009 at 4:00 PM, mqymeng.qing...@gmail.com wrote: Hi jeremy, I can confirm omgps does not issue any 'rm' commands.

Re: [shr-unstable] omgps track disappearance
jeremy, You said .omgps directory is empty, do you mean only empty subdirectories? Let me explain how omgps works on directories: At start up, it check if .omgps/ exists. If not, it create .omgps/ and subdirectories, such as track/ screenshots/, etc. But if you link .omgps to another directory in SD card, the link file exists even if SD card fails to mount. Broken soft link file should trigger error dialog on omgps startup. If your partition is ext3, see this link http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html mqy jeremy jozwik wrote: hello list. just saturday i went on a fairly long trip which i tracked via omgps. just this morning i was reviewing the track. and now, only a few minutes ago i was looking around in the track folder and discovered there was no files of any size. along with that /.omgps seems to have disappeared as well. im pritty peeved off that my tracks are gone, is there any hope of getting them back?
