<![CDATA[Pro keeps rebotting, some files gone, and filesystem in read only]]>My 2 pro has been working great since I got it a while back (had preordered it). Yesterday it crashed. Now it is in a boot loop where it will boot and be fine for a minute or 2 and then restart again. Was running my thermostat, so I can live with loosing the data that was on it if I need to. When I get into it it says

My script to kill the LED is there, but the rest of my stuff is not and my cronjob is gone. All my stuff was stored in /root/.

Every time before it does a restart it has
Removing MTD device #6 (rootfs_data) with use count 1
and then
reboot: Restarting system followed by restarting (see serial output from COM3 below).

How do I access the files to back them up. And how to stop the reboot. Or is doing an update my only option and my stuff is just gone? It is not the power supply-has been running off a samsung fast charger since got it, and tried a couple other supplies just to check and they all behave the same way.

My solution was to boot from external USB device (the details are in the docs) then I was able to access the filesystem and back up my files. You will need a second omega in order to create the external bootable device however.

The only file that I could find that was large (217.7 MB) was swap.page, which by pasting the following in was fast enough to copy it off before reboot (like seconds to spare). Last line to confirm it had finished.

mkdir /tmp/mounts
mount /dev/sda1 /tmp/mounts/
cd /overlay/upper/mnt
cp swap.page /tmp/mounts/swap.page
ls -lah /tmp/mounts/

After that reboot deleted swap.page which allowed it to boot normally and stop the loop. With and without the USB, it behaved the same way-like a normal 2/2+ with no additional storage added. The 8 GB eMMC worth of storage is not showing up tho. Wondering if the eMMC burned out causing all the issues, but if that were the case, why has my little shell script been there the whole time?

If able, adding eMMC to the tags since it might be related. In the mean time, I'll run my stuff off the 2+ with a flash drive, which is kinda ironic because the whole reason this was switched to pro was to not need to have a USB off the side.

Did not duplicate /overlay as the stuff that would be moved to the flash drive is not showing up, so no reason to duplicate it

/overlay/upper/mnt/swap.page is continuously growing, which reached ~200 meg again causing reboot loop and read-only file system.
