How To Power off RevPi Core 3 Safely

Post by 3ngineer »

Hi, I've been using a Revolution Pi core 3 for a few weeks now and it's great.
Is it safe to unplug the power when it is idle? Or does this have a chance of file system corruption?
If some file does get corrupted, will it ever require re-flashing the OS?

Is running the poweroff command the only way to prepare for shutdown? or is there some mode that allows normal execution, but prepared to lose power?

Thank you in advance,

I was wondering about this as well. I can run shutdown from the OS, but then the only option to power-down (or power-cycle) the Connect+ is to unplug it from power (and plug it back again). Is this the only way? Is it the recommended way? Would adding a switch module to my DIN be the way to go?

Thanks,
Saar.
