Also, adding additional symlinks to root that point to files on /mnt/us is generally safe, but DO NOT link files into /etc/upstart until they are fully tested. An upstart script that returns error status can prevent OTHER critical scripts from loading during startup. And beware that symlinks are permanent, unlike bind mounts.

The IMPORTANT thing is to not use significant space on the root fs, which may be needed for firmware updates.

Unsafe changes to the root fs can brick your kindle (but we know how to fix that -- just rewrite the root fs partition).

I feel powerful because of 'but we know how to fix that'.
But I find that I need to study linux first .Then ....
Thank you for help.
