@lurch

Is it actually possible to unmount the root directory /

This is not the question but I think it is.

Maybe a better fix would be to always explicitly exclude the drive that’s mounted at /

This is already done, / will only be shown in unsafe mode.

instead of (mistakenly) labelling it as “Drive Contains Image”

It is a system drive but it also contains the mountpoint of the drive that contains the image.

IMHO “The image path starts with one of this drive mountpoints” isn’t a very user-friendly message shrug

This is not the label that we’ll use, we’ll use “Drive Mountpoint Contains Image”, see https://github.com/balena-io/etcher/pull/2582
