Auto format of SD Card
======================
From time to time the SD cards in the PX4 autopilots get corrupted.
This isn't a surprise considering what we do to them. Your all
familiar with the windows "please unmount or eject your SDCard before
removing" process. Well we don't do that. In fact normal operation
is to just pull the power on the SDCard - whilst its being written
too!! Not to metion the horrible vibration rich environment the
SDCard exists in. If the autopilot is setup in the internal innards
of your plane/copter/rover this can be a nightmare to get to. To
resolve that problem Tridge has added code at startup so when
ArduPilot tries to mount to SDCard to access it - if that fails it
will then try to format the SDCard and if successful mount the card
and proceed. If the format fails then you will get the usual SOS
Audio that makes most of us want to find the buzzer and rip its heart
out.
I mention this in case anyone has precious logs saved on the SDCard or
they are using the SDCard out of their phone with their wedding
photo's on it. Probably best not to do that and assume any data on
the SDCard can be deleted.
We are also looking to add a parameter to control whether the card is
auto formatted on startup or not but it isn't in there yet.
