The FOUND.000 folder appears with several corrupted files related to Activity Tracker after checking the partition (windows chkdsk) following some use. Tested with various micro SD cards.
These are created by the chkdsk operation on windows.
Nothing mustardOS can do about them. So don’t run chkdsk unless you have a reason to do so. If windows says the card is corrupted every time, just tell it to ignore the check, again, unless you have reasons to want the card checked.
Could it be because the activity tracker isn’t properly finishing writing files before shutting down or going into standby?
FOUND.000 is created by Windows disk checking utility, not from MustardOS.
When Windows disk check scans a FAT32 (primary cause) or exFAT drive and finds orphaned or corrupted file fragments (data that exists on disk but is no longer properly linked in the filesystem), it moves those fragments into FOUND.000 as .chk files so the data is not lost.
These filesystem inconsistencies can happen on any mSD card due to things like interrupted writes, improper unmounting, power loss, or normal flash storage quirks. Upon any instance of suspend or shutdown we do a thorough filesystem sync and safe unmount before power off. So unless you have a cheap mSD card these would not occur.
