One of my dislikes of how Lab126 has the Kindle system set up is that funky user space file system overlay on /mnt/us
Linux has very good support for CIFS, backed by any read/write filesystem.
They should just export /mnt/us as CIFS (A.K.A: Windows Networking).
Windows, modern Linux, and (I am guessing here) probably MAC OSx.
(and a whole lot of OS that I will not bother to list here) will just auto-detect it when the Kindle is plugged in.
Also gone are all problems with concurrent access by the Kindle's system and the external system.
That is what standard file system networking tools handle.
Amazon/Lab126 did not have to re-invent that wheel (unless they needed billable hours back in the K1 days).
