I've copied Marks info on retrieving the flash image from this mailing list to the developer manual:

You can also do an fsck run on the image and write back the (hopefully salvaged) image.
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.
