reboot, enter usb mode, and run "mount" and "df -h", and then the other commands posted earlier

Sorry if I offended you.
I was trying to write to two people in the same post, which must be confusing, my bad.

No problem, ixtab knows my sense of humor

So, to get it right:
1. Do I un-install the jailbreak yes or no before SSH ?
2. Reboot or Restore ?
The rest is clear I guess :
3. SSH
4. "mount"
5. "df-h"

Correct ?

1. Nope
2. Only reboot
... and 6. Run the other commands I previously posted (too lazy to find the post right now )
7. Post output of 4., 5., and 6. here

[aceflor]

Will do.

There needs to be a space before the hypen: df -h

Please post the result of "find /mnt/mmc". (This may produce a lot of output; if it does, try "find /mnt/mmc/etc" instead).

How could you edit my post ????

There it is.

[root@kindle root]# df -h

Lost of room left there

[root@kindle root]# mount /dev/mmcblk0p2 /mnt/mmc
mount: /dev/mmcblk0p2 already mounted or /mnt/mmc busy
mount: according to mtab, /dev/mmcblk0p2 is already mounted on /mnt/mmc

Message is correct, see first test above.

[root@kindle root]# ls -la /mnt/mmc/etc/shad*
ls: /mnt/mmc/etc/shad*: No such file or directory
[root@kindle root]# cp -f /mnt/mmc/etc/shadow /mnt/mmc/etc/shadow.before_rescue_
pack
cp: can't stat '/mnt/mmc/etc/shadow': No such file or directory
[root@kindle root]# ls -la /mnt/mmc/etc/shad*

All expected failures, considering the first test.

Sorry, I don't have a clue as to why.

Perhaps the contents of /etc/version.txt and /etc/pretty_version.txt would tell us if both of you have the same firmware build.
(or, whatever their exact version filenames are, I don't have a Kpw myself)

There again :
