BeagleBone Black images keep getting corrupted

[Gábor Paller]

it also happened to me many times. ever since i started shutting down the
system properly (shutdown -h now), the problem disappeared. it seems to be
related to switching off the power unexpectedly (unexpectedly for the
system).

regards,
gabor
