Repairing the File System

The B3000n/B3000 badge is designed to automatically recover from problems that may occur with its file system. Despite this safeguard, in very rare circumstances one or more files on a badge may become corrupted. When this happens, your badge may continuously reboot, or a badge program may not start. To correct a problem with a corrupted file, you can run the REPAIR FILESYSTM utility, which is available on the badge configuration menu.

The B3000n/B3000 badge has two partitions: the main partition which is read/write, and a backup partion which is read-only. When you run the REPAIR FILESYSTM utility, the badge checks the file system and repairs any corrupted files.

Note: You cannot repair the file system of badges earlier than the B3000.

Display the badge configuration menu.

See Using the Badge Configuration Utility.
Press the Down button to highlight the REPAIR FILESYSTM command.
Press the Select button. The badge displays three choices:
- NO - CANCEL!
- YES - REPAIR!
- YES - WIPE N REPA
Do one of the following:
- Press the Down button to highlight YES - REPAIR!
  
  The badge will check the file system and repair any corrupted files by copying files from the backup partition to the main partition.
- Press the Down button to highlight YES - WIPE N REPA
  
  The badge will delete all files from the main partition and copy all files from the backup partition to the main partition.
Press the Select button.
Wait while the badge reboots and then proceeds to update the file system. When the update is complete (after a minute or two), the badge reboots.
