I am curious why you use the path with more characters to type. I always use the shorter path (which also has more privileges, in this case). On other embedded systems that I work with, the "base-" mounts are read-only compressed filesystems, and the shorter mount names are the writable overlay filesystems. The underlying kindle filesystem is writable, but the "base-" mounts still have restricted privileges.

So, out of curiousity, why did you choose the longer "base-" mount name when they gave you two options, and most examples (including the startup scripts) only use /mnt/us/ ?
