Title: What does this mean? (Mount; can't find /boot in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab)
Post by: Arjxh56 on June 12, 2018, 11:14:15 pm

Im also seeing this pop up randomly in-between the long string of mount: can't find /boot in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab messages:

This is actually benign
I would be interested to see your home page screenshot if you could post ?

Hi,
I have attached a file containing the screenshot of the Home page and also the latest Logging screen so that you can see the two from the same time period.

I hope this helps..

Thanks

Thanks for posting

I can see the issue, this is an update built on top of an originally quite old release
in itself this is not an issue, and I presume PilotAware is working correctly

if you are able, I would recommend making a full install from the ZIP file for 20180520, this will install updated drivers and kernel patches.
This is not necessary, but would be desirable if you are comfortable doing this.
The method is described in the full user documentation

We are looking at adding a service for users not comfortable with performing a full software upgrade.

thx
Lee

Thanks.. Can i do the Full install with a brand new Micro SD card and leave the existing one alone.. Im thinking that if i make a mess of it i could put the original card back in and i assume it will rebuild itself and revert back to where i am now?

Yes you can. It's what I do all the time. Gives me a fallback if I break it ;D

Full install carried out successfully. Easier than i expected  :D

These are the only logging errors that i am now seeing... the other errors have all gone.

That error message is when you request a web page, but dont wait for the result
This can be done by repeatedly clicking buttons
Thx
