[atlas] Dead probes

Hello,

My probe had the same issue (see the message I sent about it earlier). The fix Philip mentions repaired the issue for me as well.
The probe failed after I had to powercycle some of my network equipment (including the probe). What happened with your probes Marty before they failed? Maybe there is a common cause?

With kind regards,
Jeroen Bogers

Hi,

That a weird thing that is showing up recently. I have no clear idea what is causing it. Something is wrong with the filesystem on the USB stick that prevents the probe from booting properly.

What normally cures it is to connect the probe to power and network without the USB stick, wait for about 10 minutes and then insert the USB stick.
