- "Card & Claw BBS" is now "The Drunken Gamer BBS"
- thedrunkengamer.com:8888 and 8889 are the telnet/ssh addresses, but cardandclaw.com will still work
Hey all, had a catastrophic failure on my Rpi last week, and since I hadn't got around to backing up *anything* -- I was still mid-tinkering
-- I've had to start from scratch... again... LOL.
Luckily, I did have some backups of my ANSI/menu files!

:-O
Was it some kind of storage crash?

SD card failure -- not sure what caused it, it was pretty new... Back to square one :)
Adding something like commit=600 to the mount options in /etc/fstab could help reduce wear (only writes to disk every 10 minutes, unless the
writing program specifically states that it want it committed to disk immediately). However, if you lose power, you will lose the last 10 minutes of data, but your file system will still be OK. So it's a tradeoff.

Most writes during normal operation could be log writes, but perhaps
most log writes are synced to disk (depends on the application), so the actual reduction of wear could vary...
Thanks, Zip! I just ordered a new SD card and I'll give this a try.

Hi there. Just checking in, did you get the netmail I sent you a few
days ago?
I did not! Could have been during my SD card shenanigans. Can you
re-send?
