No. The system permanently checks for new or changed files in /mnt/us/opt/jbpatch and synchronizes them to /var/local. This is not really nice, I know, but it's the only solution I found to the problem that /mnt/us is not accessible when the Kindle is booted while plugged to a computer.

That is also the reason why the README says "if it's not working as expected right after installation, reboot again" (or so).
