From 032be82a11a9cee6cc45df7a5ea94778ea4280d7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Duncan Laurie Date: Thu, 23 May 2013 07:23:09 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] elog: Check for successful flash erase in elog_shrink A parrot device with a bad flash part has been seen to hang in the elog_shrink code becuase the flash was not successfully erased and it gets stuck in a loop trying to shrink the log and then add an event.
