Yesterday evening, before doing a shutdown, all settings were ok. This morning I booted the system and settings are gone again. Note that this is with a brand new insall.
I restored the prefs from my backup and did a shutdown, took the power off and restarted. Did that a couple of times, but was unable to reproduce the issue.
Fact is that:
* It always happens when I boot up the device in the morning, or when it was down for some time.
* When the settings are gone, they seem to be really gone. Subsequent reboots etc don't fix it. Only a restore of the prefs make it work.
* It always happens on my PI3. A PI4 with the same config never gives an issue.
@Tim Curtis some questions:
* What happens whith the prefs during shutdown and booting up?
* Where are the prefs stored?
Is there anything I can do to provide more information or logging?
As a test, I could check when stopping the device if everything is still ok, and take off the power instead of doing a proper shutdown. If settings are corrupted/gone the next time I boot it up, it may be an indication something went wrong when starting up. Not sure if this is recommended?
