Thats good - as long as I remember to toggle the write protect on update :-)

I keep my SD cards locked! No corruption.

In other words, if the System file is on SD card can it still be write protected?

I don't see what benefit there is to a bigger or faster card if it is only read during boot up and only written to during an update, or if you edit the config or command files.

Either a bug or my power supply went downhill between updates. im lucky if i can get a couple of hours between reboots. wonderered if it was my overclcock, so went back to 700 from 1150 and still the same, couple of hours and reboots for simply no reason
