Hi Richard.
A couple of weeks ago I got a small file 'leaf.cfg' corrupted after
modifying it directly (mount /hda1 on /mnt). As other folks here said that I
may forget to un-mount /mnt before rebooting. So now I always checked to
make sure the CF is umounted before rebooting and so far no more corruptions
eventhough I modified a lot a lot of things day after day because of my new
setup.
Do you think you may mount the CF somehow? Just check the mountpoints before
rebooting. Maybe some script did that and you do not know about it.
I use Lexar 64M. I also used Canon 32M and it was OK but very short time so
I cannot say if its quality is good.
Hope your CF is not bad. You probably can test its quality inside another
machine.

Subject: [leaf-user] CF Card Issues
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.
Thanks,
Richard Amerman
