/mnt/base-us is the real partition mounted. A filesystem proxy /sbin/fsp (built on top of FUSE) sits between /mnt/us and /mnt/base-us, so that requests to /mnt/us are passed through that proxy to /mnt/base-us.

Unfortunately, I don't know for sure whether these requests are modified by proxy in any way and, if so, when and how they are modified.

Once I've read on this forum that fsp serves for holding requests on pause if real parition isn't available at the moment. But I didn't check this theory (or, maybe, fact?) by myself, because I don't know how to do it.
