Comment (by bipolar):
I'm seeing related "inconsistencies"/issues regarding the "config" and
"system" packagefs mounts (they appear next to "RAM FS" from the right-
click menu on the Disks icon, or when drilling down from Desktop).
All three of them also show an "Unmount" item from their context menues.
You get a warning (about it being busy) when attempting to unmount
"system" from a "/boot/" Tracker view, but it lets you do it.
System still seems to work OK afterwards (other than all of them having
disappeared from the Disks context menu and Desktop's drill-down), and now
right clicking on /boot/system shows the same menu as for any other
folder.
All a bit puzzling from and end user point of view :-D
Annnd... spoke too soon... "everything but Tracker" (or so it seems)
breaks till you reboot :-D
(bash can't find any command, Leaf menu appears empty, etc).
Maybe there should be extra-protections/handling/hiding in Tracker for all
three "RAM FS", "config" and "system" as they are "special mounts"?
