Arista filesystem rewinding back 3 years

Hello,

It must be my lucky day. I've run into quite a strange situation where what shows up in flash: isn't the same as what 
is actually in /mnt/flash on an Arista switch.

I found out that this was an issue when I reloaded the switch and the filesystem looks like it rewound itself to 2022 
in Aboot.

I'm guessing that the SSD stopped taking writes sometime in 2022 and EOS never found out about it.

Anyway, if anyone has any information on this feel free to send it to me offlist. I don't want to create a spamwave or 
anything.

Thanks and have a nice day.
-Drew
