Also, if we completely nuke rootfs and then the battery dies or we reboot by accident then we're hosed, as BackupMenu itself wouldn't load (until such a time as Fabry hopefully gets a u-boot version to work - I'd love to try myself, but I'm snowed under at the moment). Of course, the ideal solution would be to get BackupMenu to use fiasco-flasher or similar instead, as this would do exactly what flasher-3.5 does with the -r argument, but I'm not sure it's possible to do this as my previous attempts have failed.
If you look at Robbiethe1st code, rootfs gets wiped out before restoring it, through rm -rf *, so it's as risky as formatting.
I didn't think rootfs is mounted and cannot be unmounted, though, so maybe better give up on this issue.
