Last night I was using Volumio on a RPi 3B+ and Allo BOSS DAC V1.2 and it was working just fine and I shut it down as I normally do by going into the settings and doing a shutdown. Tonight when I turned it on the power lights come on and nothing else. The startup sound does not happen and when I try to connect I get this message in the browser: “Safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding.”
What the heck happened?
I have’t done anything to it since last night.
Any ideas?
Seems the sd card got corrupted, or its not connected to your network anymore.
Something more that you remember?
Nope, that’s the whole story.
It was working then it wasn’t.
You suggesting I should try to re-install Volumio then?
Yes
I’m trying to do that but Etcher is not working for some strange reason.
So I’m trying the dd command instead.
So what would cause the SD card to be corrupted?
Got a new install of made and it’s working.
But I lost my playlists.
How can I back up my playlists in case this happens again?
You can restore from a backup file and all the properties will be back, including stored radio stations (playlists only if you selected to backup in its backup setup), only exception are the plugins (I dont know why) these you need to reinstall again, everything else should be then available.
