Raspiblitz: Ask user confirm before formatting HDD on Setup

[joelstahre]

I flashed the new version onto the SD card.

When i put the SD card into the PI and i ssh into the machine with default username and password it says that no partition exists on the HDD, and im asked if i want to create one.

I suspect this is not normal.

some more info would help. Did you use the HDD before? Is there anything on it? Did you run a previous version of the RaspiBlitz?

[joelstahre]

Sorry, yes i did run the previous version, so the HDD has been working fine with the old version.

what was the message you saw, was it?...
"WARNING: NO HDD FOUND -> Shutdown, connect HDD and restart."

SSH in and run this on the command line and post the output here:
sudo cat /etc/fstab && lsblk && blkid |grep /dev/sd && df -h

Your HDD is missing the partition sda1. What does your raspiblitz.log have in it?...
cat /home/admin/raspiblitz.log

[joelstahre]

```admin@RaspiBlitz:~ $ cat /home/admin/raspiblitz.log

wow, that doesn't show anything. I was hoping it would at least show whatever might have been done to the HDD, if anything. I'm not sure how/why your HDD lost that partition.

[joelstahre]

hehe no :/ i guess i just have to redo the whole thing again.

Werent all logs removed after version 1.1 due to the amount space they were using?

system logs in /var/log yes. Raspiblitz, Bitcoin, and LND logs are not removed. They are in a different location in /home/admin and /mnt/hdd/bitcoin.

For v1.2 I added a confirmation dialog before HDD gets formatted. So just in case something is not detected correct on upgrade and it switches to fresh setup - the user has to confirm to format HDD.

TODO: final testing

Worked so far for v1.2 - closing issue.

_If there is still some "HDD not found while setup but there is one connected" - please open in new issue. Thx._
