Working RPi + HDD system no longer receiving data after power down (Solved)

 

I had a working system consisting of 1 emontx (4CT & 1 AC to AC adapter) and an additional node i built send temperatures, measured heat pump output etc. and a RPI with HDD all working on RFM12b 433Mhz.

The system has been mostly reliable over the few months it's been running although the RPI has always been jittery every time we get a power cut and usually requires an additional power cycle to get it running again.

Today i needed to power down the RPI (along with router, nas drives etc.) and it no longer receives feeds from either node.

I flashed a second SD card with the oem gateway (no HDD) and all the hardware is fine, feeds being received and forwarded to Emoncms.org

Was running V8.09 before my problems started, have tried "git pull origin master" and updated to V8.1.1 but still no feeds. Dashboards and data are intact but the RFM12b is not running and doesn't appear to start manually.

Any help would be appreciated as i don't want to have to start from scratch and loose my existing data.

Thanks that seems to have sorted it, will this addition remain or will i have the issue on future updates?

Wish i had a better understanding of linux/github etc my brain was wired for dos and windows a long time ago.

Thanks

The change will be made in the repo when the pull request is accepted. When (if) you next update your raspberrypi module by running git pull, you'll likely get a conflict because you have modified a line which has also changed in the remote. At that point you'll want to run:

git reset --hard origin/master

This will drop all of your changes and replace them with the latest commit from the repo.
