Description
We have a USB drive in our SystemCore that we are putting our logs too. We have noticed that twice now at MTTD that the drive has failed to mount.
We found the issue when we went to SSH our logs and found that the U folder is empty.
Checking the SystemCore UI after revealed that the thumb drive does not even show up under the "Storage Devices Section"
We ran some commands in terminal and found that sda1 directory doesn't exist.
During all of this the drive was securely in the USB port on the unit. Furthermore, if we power cycled the drive would mount and logs would be accessible again.
We are using Alpha OS 7, and Wpilib Alpha 2

Research direction
Start by reproducing the missing USB mount on Alpha OS 7 with the Wpilib Alpha 2 setup, checking the SystemCore UI's Storage Devices section and whether the U folder and sda1 directory appear. Compare the device state before and after a power cycle, and use the reported screenshots and terminal observations to identify what fails. Done means the USB drive mounts reliably and logs are accessible without cycling power.
