Hi,

on my RPI-3 I used to have a watchdog service. But by some reason the
system hung instead of doing a hardware-reboot. Maybe there was a kernel
module mismatch. So, I switched it off.

Besides this, a watchdog may put your SDCard in a state where an fsck is
demanded for. So, the system does not start non-interactively next time.

best regards,

Markus
