My device is still on 5.11.1, and I see no reason to let that upgrade yet.
But for folk on the 5.12 firmware which seems to 'rm -rf /mnt/us/update.bin.tmp.partial', try this in order to prevent that from succeeding....
Code:
[root@kindle]# mkdir /mnt/us/update.bin.tmp.partial
[root@kindle]# dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/us/update.bin.tmp.partial/loopfile bs=1k count=360
360+0 records in
360+0 records out
368640 bytes (360.0KB) copied, 0.180811 seconds, 1.9MB/s
[root@kindle]# losetup /dev/loop/16 /mnt/us/update.bin.tmp.partial/loopfile
[root@kindle]# mkfs.msdos /dev/loop/16
mkfs.msdos 2.11 (12 Mar 2005)
[root@kindle]# mount -o ro /dev/loop/16 /mnt/us/update.bin.tmp.partial
Which should result in ...
Code:
[root@kindle]# rm -rf /mnt/us/update.bin.tmp.partial
rm: can't remove '/mnt/us/update.bin.tmp.partial': Device or resource busy
Not sure how to make that persistent across reboots yet?
