Request - reset switch

Post by Arwen »

While testing Linux, Grub2, Initial RAM FS, and booting to ZFS, I had many software
related hangs. Until I have good, documented procedures for using ZFS root, I am likely
to have many more :-(.

The current recovery procedure generally involved power off/on, then booting to a
working OS image. Sometimes on the same disk like just now. Then fixing the problem,
and rebooting.

So, a reset switch, (or button), would helpful. Even remote. Possibly the remote power
button will suffix. Or a combo connector on the fitlet system board, with 3 wires, one
for remote power, one for reset and the common. Users then select the functions they
need, one or the other, or both.
