Hi, While playing with the new betas containing unionfs, I ran across a useful tidbit.
Even though we are used to having the astlinux filesystem "ro", with the cleaver unionfs you can actually 'remove' "ro" files! For example, (again, this is only with the asterisk-beta branch) # rm /etc/init.d/asterisk works, what it does is add a file ".wh.asterisk" in the /oldroot/mnt/ asturw/etc/init.d/ directory. So, you can "undelete" the removed file with # rm /oldroot/mnt/asturw/etc/init.d/.wh.asterisk Since these files are hidden with "ls" by default, they are easily missed. Pretty cool, and powerful... use with care. Lonnie ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
