Hi David, you can put your private keys in "/mnt/kd/ssh_keys/". They will automaticly added to the "/root/.ssh/authorized_keys" file (at startup), which lives in "/tmp". This answers also your next question about root. I tested your rsync command on my iMac and I don't need the "-i <my-private-key-file>" part. It works also without it. It uses my ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub" file. >Can you tell me if root's home directory is saved to Unionfs.
