the original root-partition is remounted on a temporary directory. the 
name changes everytime.

i usually don't run the test on chapter 5, but to validate the behaviour 
i just run the test once or twice - obviously as root (grin!)

as i'm removing the sources in my scripts, i can confirm to have the 
mount in the source-dir after the test. i always get an error about not 
being able to remove some files in use.

next time i compile, i'll do it without unmounting to be able to give 
you the exact errors and mountpoint.
