hrm
do you have a link to their project page? (see lots of howtos but no
hompage) I think i may take a peek out of curiousity. (It doesnt sound
too complicated: just another call to umount/mount)

that would be in the warning message- followed by, "are you sure
you wish to continue?". Since this situation is non-recoverable, it
wont hassle people who arent in the "file not found" situation. And
the system definitely wont boot if you abort...
