Thanks for fishing that out for me. I found that my flash is badly 
corrupted. Linux doesn't log an error mounting it, but there is one 
empty file with a malformed name in the ovms_config directory. fsck.vfat 
complains about some stuff and renames that file but does not recover 
the data.

Using strings I see that one copy of the configuration is still present 
so the image is not totally erased but the filesystem has been corrupted.

I have a backup (a bunch of commands in a txt file to paste into the 
console) so I did the full erase and set things up again. It has been 
operating normally for the 24 hours or so since.
