[GRASS-user] working on a mounted external disk

OH, that simple ! shame on me :-(
Sorry for being so dazed...

A detail concerning r.proj in that context of distinct gisdbases :
if the distant location has the same name as the current (i.e. in my
example both locations are called 'my_location'), then the command
returns a comprehensible error :

ERROR: You have to use a different location for input than the current

It would be nice if the dbase argument was checked /before/ the location
argument, in order to admit same location names, not necessarily meaning
that we project data in an identical projection system.
