Hi,
I was wondering where the Linux filesystem of the Kobo firmware is (/usr, /bin, /tmp, /root, etc.), because when I search the through Kobo eReader partition, I see nothing like that, even in hidden folders. Perhaps I've missed one? Also, I looked up with

Code:

fdisk -l

and

Code:

lsblk

in my terminal to see if there was an unmounted partition in the internal storage, but it seems that this one is the only one.
HOWEVER, when I was restoring my Glo HD's original firmware via a SD card image, I've seen three partitions:
1. recoveryfs
2. <Don't remember the name>
3. Kobo eReader
But after, when I configured the device and all, only the Kobo eReader partition was left.

To me, the Kobo firmware filesystem is a complete mistery that I'd like to solve.
Any ideas?

Thanks!
