I have a USB stick that was the boot volume for my PogoPlug V4 (that I
was using as my jumpbox). It was running ArchArm Linux. I lost power
on this unit **ONCE** without doing a regular halt command, and now it
won't boot the Pogo4, and if I put the USB stick into my Mint17 system,
it says it's write-protected, and no amount of cajoling will force it to
mount. Is there some switch that I haven't found that will force it to
mount, even read-only, that will let me pull files off of it, so I can
wipe and reformat it?
This is the *second* pogo4 I have run ArchArm on that this has happened
to. It managed to brick the other one, which I eventually had to throw
out (after taking a sledgehammer to it of course). Would at least like
to try to bring it back up, although I'm not sure I can trust it anymore
(it was originally supposed to be my NAS host, before the other jumpbox
one died).
