The little ARM device on Debian is great. I mainly use a Pogoplug E02 as NAS server for home sharing needs. However, when I was out of town last week, my wife complained that it was not working.
After I came back, I found that there was a power loss happened and the Pogoplug stuck on boot up every time. After I took the USB drive out and ran fsck on PC, it started to work again. I used to have power loss before, but this didn't happen every time. I guess it could depend on luck about which file got corrupt during the power loss event.
I'm wondering how to prevent this happening again. I found this one: http://askubuntu.com/questions/211797/how-do-i-make-ubuntu-power-loss-proof
For now, I just take the second option to enable auto-fix for FSCK. But I think the best way is first one to make the OS read-only, not sure if it's possible?
