Does the Pineapple Mark V need to be shutdown gracefully?

[GermanMeat]

When shutting down the Pineapple, does it need to be done a specific way?

I noticed every other boot , my SD isn't being recognized. It was freshly formatted w/ swap file working.

When I unplug for 5 min and reboot, it works.

I'm pretty sure this has been asked before and the answer was No... I just yank the plug and never have had any issues. Of course I tend to shut programs down before I do that but I don't send any linux "power off" commands or anything. Is your SD card the original?

Using a 8gb SD w/ swap file that was formatted and prepped via Pinapple. The SD mounts when I use the Reboot function in the Pineapple GUI or wait 10sec. before plugging it back in.

What filesystem is the 8GB SD?

Does it re-mount on eject / reinsert?

This is the first I've heard of this issue. I've always just pulled the plug without issue.

I was more poking at the Class rating of the SD card than anything. If it was formatted by the pineapple you should be good. In the older versions of the firmware I would rarely see what you are describing. I would yank the power and reseat the SD card and it would boot up just fine. I haven't really used 1.04 enough to see if it happens again. Even in the old ones it wasn't every other boot though.

I've been having some SD issues lately too. Just after the last firmware update it did not recognize the SD card. I had to reformat it just to get it to show again. Its an upgraded 32g class 10 card.
