By active Scratchbox I mean Scratchbox which has been started with sbox_ctl, which has the bindmounts under user directories in place.

The kernel doesn't prevent you from destroying the contents of the bindmounted directories any more that it would prevent you doing rm -rf /dev as root.

Luckily, with udev, most of the dev nodes are restored with reboot. And things under /proc are naturally restored too (if lost in the first place).

However, before removing a Scratchbox installation, always make sure that you stop it before uninstalling. The scripts in Debian packages should take care of this automatically but that means you have to have the Scratchbox installed from those in the first place.

Wow!  Thanks, I didn't see that command in the maemo quick start tutorial.

Not sure what you meant by "active" installation, though.  If that
means "mounts" active, I would think the kernel should not mess up the
file system even so.

Regardless, I really appreciate the help.

Thanks,

Jeff
