Hopefully this is the right place for this question... Looking at the File System/Autoupdate document and elsewhere, two features are mentioned: One is that if something goes wrong with the boot partition, whe can always boot to the other one. The second is that Autoupdates modify the copy we didn't boot into automatically.
Now I do realise that the booted partition is read-only - so maybe I'm just being way too paraoid here, but I keep imagining a scenario where the boot partition *somehow* gets corrupted (hardware failure? Malware attack bypassing read-only?) while the other partition gets modified to an unbootable state by Autoupdate being stopped part way through, for example, or some strange hardware incompatibility in the update. I guess it all depends on how robust the read-only locking on the boot partition is. Thoughts? An I just being stupid here?
