I think that is a tricky case that we should _refuse_ to handle, for
several reasons:
1. freepto strives at simplicity, even at the cost of making one way the
preferred one and the other less supported ones;
2. an unencrypted NTFS partition next to freepto is probably meant to be
accessed from a windows computer. This exposes freepto to evil maid
attacks. You should never keep a freepto connected to a computer,
unless you are running freepto;
3. freepto-live-tray is based on a lot of small CLI helpers. People that
know all this stuff can probably find their way running them.
