Hi Paul,

Android has a fixed fstab configure file indicate partitions:

For example in internal eMMC
/dev/block/mmcblk0p3        /system
/dev/block/mmcblk0p4        /cache

But if it's booted from external SD card it should be
/dev/block/mmcblk1p3        /system
/dev/block/mmcblk1p4        /cache

There is no logic in Android to detect which one it should use, just hard code to mmcblk0p3 Need kernel do a mapping or Android add a logic to know which one it booted from I guess.

How does it work in sugar?

Ben

neither is very helpful in lowering the bar for someone that would
like to test without (even temporarily) destroying the content
of their laptop.
