+By default, iFuse (via the AFC protocol) gives access to the '/var/root/Media/'
+chroot on the iPhone (containing music/pictures). This is the right and safe

+when mounting:
$ ifuse --root <mountpoint>
+Note that only PwnageTool and older jailbreak software installs the necessary
+AFC2 service on the device to enable root filesystem usage. For instance
+blackra1n does not install it and thus does not enable root filesystem access!
+Use with care as the AFC protocol was not made to access the root filesystem.

Addtional help can be shown using:
