reportUnmounting the "ns-persona" mount does not remove the default personas from the "personalities" menu, even after things such as "@fs scan", "@fs rebuild ns-persona" (which understandably throws an error while ns-persona is unmounted), and (even if the source is removed from fs.source in the database) a full =ddt reset. The mount does not show up in the returned list for "@fs" but these personas persist in the menu regardless.
2 months ago rhet0rica: I wasn't able to reproduce this on 0.5.2, so I'm marking it closed for now. But here's the full breakdown of what needs to be done to add/remove personas from ns-persona in the actual personalities menu:
  1. _storage downloads the index of the ns-persona web source from my.nanite-systems.com and saves it in LSD:fs:ns-persona
  2. _storage tells _fs to rebuild LSD:fs:root, first by removing all files that claim to be from the ns-persona source, then re-adding all files currently in LSD:fs:ns-persona. At the same time, _fs builds the filesystem view LSD:fs:persona according to its spec (*.p); this is the list @persona sees.
  3. When the persona menu is opened, the 'refresh' button is automatically pressed. This executes '@libmenu rebuild persona', which looks for a matching view (LSD:fs:persona) and generates buttons for them in m:persona.d
  4. When the refresh command is finished, _menu is sent a job receipt (SIGNAL_DONE) and redisplays the menu, which is then sent out over the appropriate protocol (variatype or light bus) to the actual display device.
