Description

Running systemcore os alpha 11, wpilib 2027_alpha6

On initial boot, the robot code can't find /U/logs so the the logs get saved to ~/logs, even though the USB drive shows as mounted. Only after restarting robot code (without rebooting systemcore) do logs get properly saved to /U/logs.

We had issues logging to the USB drive last offseason as well, but I'm not sure if this behavior is the same or different.

Research direction

Reproduce the first-boot sequence on Systemcore OS alpha 11 with WPILib 2027_alpha6 and observe when the USB drive becomes available at /U. Compare the initial robot-code startup with restarting robot code after boot, focusing on why logs fall back to ~/logs; done means first boot consistently saves logs to /U/logs.
