Hey, I'm thinking about making a proposal for the unionfs project.
On the subject of whiteouts, I've done some digging, and found this message from a few years ago: http://leaf.dragonflybsd.org/mailarchive/kernel/2011-04/msg00005.html Matthew Dillon mentions that files with special suffixes could be used to represent deleted files. Various unionfs implementations on Linux seem to do something pretty similar with special files on the writable filesystem. Would there be any objections to handling deletions this way, at least to start with? Thanks, C Davis jabber/xmpp - [email protected]
