And that 1GB userstore is still recognized as USB disk when KT is connected to computer. Aso userstore is perfectly seen by all interested parties from KT firmware (framework, volumd, etc.). And there wasn't any changes in KT system scripts on main partition. It's just work and survives reboot.

I thought, solution for lock-up was already found. Wasn't it?
My memory just isn't what it used to be. Thanks for reminding me. I did not USE that trick so it did not stick in my mind.

Apparently, using /mnt/base-us/ instead of /mnt/us/ eliminates some of the fuse overhead while using a loop mounted file when doing it this way. However, it still uses the vfat layer, so it may free up even more RAM to use a raw partition as suggested in this thread.
