Continuing the discussion from Increase emonSD pre-built SD card to 8GB min:
As suggested by @Andy_Taylor in the thread above we have implemented a custom bash prompt on the emonPi which alerts the user if the file-system is in read-only (ro) or read-write(rw) mode from the prompt e.g.
pi@emonpi(ro):~$
pi@emonpi(ro):~$ rpi-rw
Filesystem is unlocked - Write access
type ' rpi-ro ' to lock
pi@emonpi(rw):~$
This updated prompt will be rolled out to all existing emonPis via emonPi update. Just run ‘admin > emonPi Update’ in local Emoncms to pull in the changes*
