I need to test this locally, hopefully /etc/kdb.sys is not a cramfs.

/etc is
/etc/kdb.sec is not (different file system)
You must be thinking 'Windows' -
*nix systems are 'single root' file trees (not per backing store) -
and any directory (a.k.a: folder) may have a file system attached to it (I.E: mounted).
Each mount point has its own mount options.
and in the case of kdb.src, the file system attached there does not support write operations - create and read only.
At the command line, type the command:
mount
to list all the active mount points.
There you will find:
Code:
/dev/loop/4 on /etc/kdb.src type cramfs (ro,noatime,nodiratime)
That 'ro' is because cramfs does not include 'rw' operation.
You can use the kdb utility (included in the Kindle firmware) to read that database.
See the cpu report script for an example.
(and the kdb utility's built-in help)
