I'm looking for some input from those with more experience with this system.
We had a power outage and my SD card got corrupted. I believe I was running piCorePlayer 6 or 7 (the file /boot/config.txt says things like `[PI0] initramfs rootfs-pCP-12.0.gz,modules-5.4.83-pcpCore.gz...` ). I've been able to copy most, if not all, of the files to my local linux laptop. (I view this as quite an accomplishment given that I couldn't actually mount the PCP_ROOT partition and had to copy it and then mount it using the -noload flag). I am now wondering what's the best way to proceed.
I'm reasonably linux savvy, but it's been over a year since I set up piCP and I remember it took me a while to understand all of the terminology related to the player, so I'd like to avoid starting from scratch again. I have a '/PCP_ROOT/tce/mydata.tgz' file from Apr 2021. I'm using a HiFi Berry Digi optical output to my receiver and wondering what's the best way to proceed.
Any suggestions?
I'd also love some suggestions on how to avoid a similar corruption event the next time there's a power outage. I was streaming from spotify at the time, so I guess it was writing and reading from the disk, but otherwise, I was surprised that the SD card got corrupted since my understanding is that the player and OS are loaded into memory rather than continually read from the SD card.
Thanks,
Mike
