Want to hear something weird? Whenever I boot into SL4P 14-1-4, the memory card in my right slot gets wiped of all data.
I presume this isn't affecting lots of folks, as I probably would have heard about it.
What would you need to me to run to help diagnose this, Linux-SWAT?
I installed SL4P yesterday, on to a 16 GB SD card in the left slot. My right hand card (32 GB in size) was originally formatted in FAT32, though after the first data-wipe yesterday I decided to re-format it into ext4 (apart from anything else I was having trouble executing scripts on a FAT32 card due to (I think) some sort of Linux security measure, hence the "exec" argument in my fstab--not that it worked).
Shortly after installing it, I ran "slackpkg update", and "slackpkg upgrade-all". Here's what I think I did wrong: when it prompted me if I wanted to keep or overrite config files, I chose the overwrite option for all of them. I also then changed the hostname via "netconfig" and "visudo" from "darkstar.op" to "jo.op". After the first data wipe I changed it back because I panicked.
The first time I rebooted SL4P with the memory card inside the right-hand slot, I do remember that it stalled for an unusually long amount of time on a line which looked something like "restoring Pandora settings" (it's at the same time that the screen-brightness gets set to my usual setting). I think it was hung on that line for at least a minute or so. Just about enough time to be busy deleting 20 GBs of data
. Unfortunately I can't find that line in dmesg, or would it have been logged elsewhere/not-at-all?
After my card got wiped the first time, I chalked it up to magic, so I re-formatted it from FAT32 to ext4, stuck some PNDs back on to it, and then stuck it back in and played some Starcraft. Today, I booted up my Pandora and I once again found my card to be completely emptied. That means all those zergs are gonna be back
I've just ran 'find /etc/ -name "*.orig"' and I think I found the list of changed config files:
/etc/ntp.conf.orig
/etc/php-fpm/php-fpm.conf.orig
/etc/rc.d/rc.timidity.orig
/etc/mutt/Muttrc.orig
/etc/httpd/extra/httpd-ssl.conf.orig
/etc/httpd/extra/httpd-manual.conf.orig
/etc/httpd/php.ini.orig
/etc/ssh/sshd_config.orig
/etc/ssh/ssh_config.orig
Does it make sense that any of those config files would cause this? None of them look that related to start-up or SD cards :unsure:
In case you'd need it, here's my fstab:
/dev/mmcblk0p1 / auto defaults,noatime 1 1
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts mode=0620,gid=5 0 0
usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs defaults 0 0
tmpfs /var/volatile tmpfs defaults 0 0
tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs mode=0777 0 0
#tmpfs /media/ tmpfs defaults 0 0
#tmpfs /media/ram tmpfs defaults 0 0
/dev/mmcblk0p2 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/mmcblk1p1 /media/HARRY auto defaults,exec,user 0 0
I'll keep testing what I can. I'm hoping to avoid having to re-install all of SL4P.
Thanks for any help in advance
