Data logging Failure

[PKS]

I’m not sure I have a hardware or software issue. In January I setup my Vantage Pro2 with the Linksys Meteohub. Over the course of 4 weeks everything was working fine. Data posted to the weatherungerground, all of my graphs were working fine. Then for some reason the Linksys Meteohub was rebooting every couple of hours and the weather data was not recomputing. Current Data was still being posted. I then updated the Metohub to V4 hoping for a cure – no luck. It still posted data but “Weather Data Recomputation” was still not occurring. Then I had a power outage for about 2 hours. When the power came back on it’s no longer posting current data. Unfortunately, the weather station and Meteohub are in a remote location that I won’t have access to until the weekend. However, I can still login via the Internet. Any thoughts?

You've probably got a corrupted USB stick. The symptoms you describe are very similar to what happened to me a few months ago.

Check your logs -- odds are the USB drive is now being mounted in read-only mode, which means the OS can be loaded successfully and current values can be uploaded from volatile memory, but no data can be stored on the disk itself.

What log should I be looking in? What should I be looking for?
Can the corrupted USB stick be fixed or do I need another?

Here is a sample of a recent Meteohub log
logger (02.02.2009 13:17:56): Bad thb0 sensor data, "temperature x10" (18026) out of range [-500:1000]

Thanks for your speedy reply!

That's not an error I'm familiar with (most of mine after my USB stick died were things along the line of 'invalid data at xxxxx') but it's probably the same problem.

You'll probably also see error messages in the system log right after a system boot-up sequence, and error messages if you were to do a data recomputation.

You'll almost certainly need a new USB stick -- check the forums here for some suggestions about reputable brands and types, and theories about why they fail.
