the rest is static.
I am confused.
If I open a /home/guest/ file with Leafpad, edit it and save it it's not written back to /home/guest???
- edit -
It's written to both places!!!

Dear Ed
To unmount the partitions type as root or in a root-terminal
umount /dev/sda1
(or sda2, sdb1 and so on, depending on which Partition you want to unmount)
If done look into the /mnt Folder. The folders sda1/2/3...are still there
but they are EMPTY.

Thank you
donald for the clarification.
Code: Select all
guest@porteus:~$ su
Password:
root@porteus:/home/guest# cat /mnt/sda1
cat: /mnt/sda1: Is a directory
root@porteus:/home/guest# ls /mnt/sda1
100_CR.DAT* EFI/ NAPP.DAT* SOURCES/
ACERBOOT/ FACTORY/ Napp7.log* SYSTEMCD.DAT*
BOOT/ Flag.log* RCD.DAT* System\ Volume\ Information/
BOOTMGR* ImageInfo.dat* Restore.dat*
D2D/ LPCD.DAT* RyTools/
root@porteus:/home/guest# umount /mnt/sda1
root@porteus:/home/guest# ls /mnt/sda1
root@porteus:/home/guest#
FYI In the Windows world if I unmount a device/partition the device's/partition's drive letter is no longer available and no longer appears in any Windows' app.

I don't fully understand what you suggested but find this variant of your suggestion useful.
Code: Select all
ls -R /mnt/live/memory/changes/home
Thank you
fanthom.
