PiAware Checking in but Stopped Feeding Data

FlightAware ADS-B Flight Tracking
1

I post my log because for ~ 8 hours one of my feeders stopped sending reports Now fixed with the reboot you see. The other is OK. Another feeder in the area, a FlightFeeder box, has also stopped feeding for ~8 hours. Another nearby PiAware has been sending data all night.

I/o errors and missing files means something is pretty wrong: sdcard or memory corruption. Might want to look at syslog at the point things started failing.

I do have reason to suspect the memory card. In another posted issue recently I could not SSH into this RPi and when installing it to USB port on laptop it would sometimes not connect and even not format. Plus there were other reliability issues using this card to run PiAware.

It is an unbranded cheapo. Not worth it.
