Power outage data corruption

Moderators: chensy, FATechsupport

A few months ago our induction cooktop died and took out our power. Around the same time, FriendlyWrt lost quite a bit of functionality. I'm assuming the power outage caused data corruption. It's still routing happily and running Docker too, but Samba has died, as has quite a few things in LuCi including NetData and a few things from the Docker menu.

Is there anyway to repair the installation without flashing firmware and essentially starting from scratch?

EDIT: I updated Samba through LuCi, restarted it, and that is working again.
EDIT: I manually restarted NetData:

which netdata
ls -l /usr/sbin/netdata
/usr/sbin/netdata -D

And NetData worked. And for no apparent reason, the missing items from the Docker menu came back. All is good in FriendlyWrt again!
Just had powerlines down up the street. Same issues as the previous post. I could restart Samba and Netdata, but the Docker menu items in LuCi are missing.

Fixed!

opkg update
opkg install --force-reinstall luci-app-dockerman
/etc/init.d/rpcd restart
/etc/init.d/uhttpd restart
