Hi Nio,
(I added the list in to this e-mail)
I discovered the problem.
chmounter checked to make sure the user was not unmounting something
important, but restricted it to ${dest}1
which failed in your case.... so I removed that entirelyI am rebuilding OBI with your fix to the intro text, this chmounter fix, and a working (i hope) zmktbl When I rebuild ToriOS again, we will have a much nicer OBI setup! Thanks for your diligent testing. I think I could add the check back in to see what is mounted and make sure dest is there... but either way it will work without my extra check. I wanted to have a good check for the user in case they mounted their USB drive to mount to copy files to or something... but this is a fringe use-case and we can deal with it in a later update. Right now we want a working dual partition setup! Oh, was the help text fairly useful? Did it give you decent advice where to install?
