Erm, not here!

My PC can read and write the FAT32 bootFS which is how I can add both
SSH and userconf files. But the other partition, ext4 rootfs is
invisible on my PC.

Oh, So you mean a Linux PC, that I can believe but I don't know
anyone who has such a beast, I've not even seen one. Apple-mac or
Windows without exception in my acquaintances and all would think a
'PC' meant windows.

Before anyone makes the obvious claim, in my eyes a pi doesn't
qualify as a PC.
