regarding the latest news I'm really wondering how many customers have put themselves out of mining the last days ?
(...)
The missing files are causing critical issues, and the miner is no longer able to complete its boot sequence.
The files concerned, are;
Cgminer.conf.factory
Network.conf.factory
(...)
Further more I'm not pleased to read that a missing default config file, stored on a persistent partition where users might modify or even delete it, causes a complete boot failure of $k hw used for btc-mining.
Seriously ?!
Without having deeper knowledge of the exact technical reasons which lead KnC's devs to this decision:
How about a simple 'check if file exists if not skip it or copy some default-config from system-image' ?
Or as alternative put those files in a place a user can not damage (all dirs except '/config')..
