Lost all access to FreedomBox

Hi Altadil,

sorry to hear that you are facing issues accessing your FB. As for accessing logs directly from the SD card, yes this is possible. I found out about missing hard disk space in the thread[0] you are mentioning this way.

I simply powered down the FB, removed the SD and plugged it into a card reader on my desktop. From there, I could simply mount the partitions (presumably the largest will be the ‘/’ mount point on the FB) and navigate to /var/log on it to check the various log files. (NB: I am running Debian stable on my desktop which has support for btrfs, so this may not be possible if you’re using a Windows or Mac. You may be able to use a live medium in that case.)

I hope you can pinpoint the root cause of your issues this way.

Cheers,
Axel
