Need to completely redo flash on keycroc! Filesystem is corrupt.

[Aaron Outhier]

Hello. after months of bizarre problems with my KeyCroc, I finally realized that my flash filesystem is corrupt.

root@croc:~# e2fsck -fn /dev/nandd
e2fsck 1.42.12 (29-Aug-2014)
Warning!  /dev/nandd is mounted.
Warning: skipping journal recovery because doing a read-only filesystem check.

Free blocks count wrong (505705, counted=505574).
Fix? no

Free inodes count wrong (168264, counted=168259).
Fix? no

/dev/nandd: 44728/212992 files (0.1% non-contiguous), 346263/851968 blocks

Is there any way I can force an e2fsck during boot, or perhaps cause a complete rewrite/replacement of flash data? I have already tried reinstalling the latest firmware. I have also tried erasing the entire udisk and then copying over the flash file, before rebooting. The firmware does complete 100%, or at least it appears to. I also verified the sha256sum before applying it. It seems that my entire /lib/modules folder is missing.

Update: I figured out how to do a factory reset. Re-added my config.txt and device.conf. Then shut it down. I'll have to test it at some point. More to come.

Still corrupted in the same locations after factory reset.

Managed to fix the problem, without a serial terminal or any jtag stuff. Fortunately, the filesystem corruption was minor. I was able to locate the recovery partition and run fsck on it to repair. Then, I forced a factory reset to format the main partition and unpack the version 1.1 firmware. I of course then updated the Croc to the latest version. Issue seems to be solved.
