Hi,

The first time I tested it I started logging from the Web UI and stopped it
from there too and the next time I tested it I did it from the shell,
running status commands to make sure it had started and stopped.

vfs ls /sd gives,
0 30-Nov-1979 00:00 log 0 30-Nov-1979 00:00 0 30-Nov-1979 00:00 0
30-Nov-1979 00:00 0 30-Nov-1979 00:00 ! 0 30-Nov-1979 00:00 ) 0 30-Nov-1979
00:00 1 0 30-Nov-1979 00:00 9 0 30-Nov-1979 00:00 A 0 30-Nov-1979 00:00 i 0
30-Nov-1979 00:00 Q 0 30-Nov-1979 00:00 y 0 30-Nov-1979 00:00 a 0
30-Nov-1979 00:00 i 0 30-Nov-1979 00:00 ���r 0 30-Nov-1979 00:00 y


which I noticed on the "Editor", and the reason I wanted to format the card
in the OVMS.

can can1 status
CAN: can1 Mode: Active Speed: 500000 DBC: none Interrupts: 214034 Rx pkt:
120472 Rx ovrflw: 0 Tx pkt: 90774 Tx delays: 0 Tx ovrflw: 0 Tx fails: 254
Err flags: 0x008040d9 Rx err: 0 Tx err: 128 Rx invalid: 0 Wdg Resets: 0 Wdg

can can2 status
CAN: can2 Mode: Listen Speed: 500000 DBC: none Interrupts: 0 Rx pkt: 0 Rx
ovrflw: 0 Tx pkt: 0 Tx delays: 0 Tx ovrflw: 0 Tx fails: 0 Err flags:
0x00000000 Rx err: 0 Tx err: 0 Rx invalid: 0 Wdg Resets: 91 Wdg Timer: 3
sec(s) Err Resets: 0
The command to start logging is the all CAN messages command from the guide
*can log start vfs crtd /sd/can.crtd *

and it returns
CAN logging to VFS active: Type:vfs Format:crtd(discard) Vehicle:KN
Path:/sd/can.cr

also
can log status
#2: open Type:vfs Format:crtd(discard) Vehicle:KN Path:/sd/can.crtd
