That's right -  it appears to have been done to exclude the install path
components from the df output which is what is being done to find the aux
mount. Is there a better way to figure out if the aux mount is running?

Right. Something went wrong with the system and it refused to run the tests
after a while.

This looks like it was done to remove the /build/install components from
the df -h outputs. Changing the path to /data/build/install broke this as
it did not strip the "/data" from the paths.
It did work when I changed the sed to act on /data/build/install but
hardcoded paths are not a good approach.
