fusecompress on knoppix-data.img?

Well kl522, I want to unmount the /UNIONFS mount point and then remount that. For some crazy reason I am not able to do this.
And it would be great if you could share your fixes with us as your solution seems way cleaner compared to the default knoppix behaviour

Before I share with you how I accomplish "clean unmounting' of the entire KNOPPIX system, I would like to understand a bit more. Can you explain to us why do you want to unmount /UNIONFS and then remount it ?

If you are trying to do all this in the middle of system running, I think the chances of it succeeding will be slim. If you are trying to do this while the system is shutting down, chances of it succeeding will be higher. Because to umount /UNIONFS you will have to kill the processes which are using the file system.

I succeeded in umount /UNIONFS, /KNOPPIX-DATA and /mnt-system, but all these are done during system shutdown.
