It had been looking for the 'mount' command to return text about the /mnt/usb being an ext3 disk however the current disk is an ext2 so we were getting false warnings about bad mounts. The script now doesn't care about the file system listed in the mount command. ___end___ ****EVENT COMMENT BY berkey**** : Tue Aug 04 02:19:20 GMT 2020 Prominence eruption was seen in KCOR near PA300 about 1:30UT ___end___ GENERAL COMMENT BY mcotter: Tue Aug 04 02:22:38 GMT 2020 Sky was clear almost the entire day but there was a lot of stray light in the observations and aerosols and particles were clearly seen throughout the day. ___end___ ONSITE STAFF: berkey, mcotter
