(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); When I access my CFW via FTP I can still see the dev_flash folders. Does this mean my dev_blind is still mounted? It has been days since I ran dev_blind to write cer27 to get online etc...

It was my understanding that once the CFW PS3 has been shut down the dev_blind has been unmounted and the dev_flash folders wouldn't be accessible in FTP anymore.

Basically, for me, this all boils down to
1. Does dev_blind unmount itself after hard boot?
2. If not, do I have to worry about it being mounted everytime I start my PS3? (as long as I don't mess with dev_flash folder in FTP I should be fine, right?)

Thank you very much. I hope the questions aren't too noobish for this excellent site that has tought me so much. I hope to keep learning and help others where I can.

Are you high?
1. Yes, it unmounts after a hardboot. Its not normal if it stays.
2. You can't mess with the dev_flash through FTP even if you wanted to. The PS3 rejects it and the worst is an automatic restart or freeze. (I've done it multiple times before)
