format an SD card about cloudmesh-pi-burn HOT 5 CLOSED

This issue was not completed and motivates a complete redo of the pi burn activity. The previous work failed to leverage methods that were perfectly working in general/cmburn.py A review of previous activities in cmburn.py was not conducted. The previous work done did not even leverage all the working code we used to have.

Due to the failure of proper implementation, code review, major flaws were introduced into the new code and major features were not implemented. The main issue seems to be that the burn does not disable the default password which was a requirement communicated form the start. Another was that WIFI could not be switched on and off, but that task never got started as other tasks were simply not completed.

The current version of cm pi burn I would not even consider as pre-alpha due to the severe bugs and the highly incomplete implementation of that.

We will start collecting all the issues we see. At this time we should consider the project as 0% done. The result of this is based on a re-review of this work being done over the Christmas break.

This error occasionally happens when booting up pi3 for first time. Fixed by using cm-pi-burn again. Not sure why this is hapenning.
