I hadn't considered the case where the user has repartitioned. This is clearly an advanced user situation and not the usual case. Would it not be appropriate still to ship with App Manager set up to assume the default filesystem, and let those who chose to repartition also disable the protection? We're really trying to protect the average user here, not the hackers.
