you refuse to understand what a mountpoint is

* dynamic mountpoint get created
* media is mounted in that mountpoint
* on shutdown any media is unoumted unconditionally
* since the mountpoint is on tmpfs, well the empty dir don't exist after reboot
* nothing there scrubs the media, that's just not possible, there is no rm -rf 
anywhere
