+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.
