Bricked my Libra by tinlering
I though it would be fun to format my data partition btrfs to use compression.
First I ssh'd into the root partition and changed the entries in /etc/initd/rcS from vfat to btrfs. Then I backed up my data and formatted the vfat data partition to btrfs. I restored the data and removed the device from the pc. Then it bricked. There is a exclamation mark the screen. When plugged in viz USB, 'fdisk -l' does not even see the disk. When I hold down power, the screen flashes white for a moment then goes back to the exclamation mark. Advice? |

i fixed it.
It seem that holding down the power plus both pagination buttons for 20 seconds does a hard reset. |

Don't monkey around with the file system. Didn't you read the warning NOT to do this?
