If you accidentally shut down your Pi while running, or otherwise suspect you may have a file system corruption issue on your SD card, you can force a Linux file system check in one of a couple ways on the DStar Commander image:
1. Send the DStar Commander CLEANUP command to your gateway ("CLEANUP" in the UR call field) and then reboot the Pi. The cleanup routine will initiate the file system check as part of the process.
--OR--
2. Using VNC, SSH, or a monitor/keyboard, enter the following in a command terminal: "sudo touch /forcefsck" (omit the quotes) and then reboot.
It's not a bad idea to do this periodically (once every month or so) just to keep the file system tidied up.
