Does this mean that if I have /a/b/ and /c/d/ unionised under /mnt/union, I am not allowed to alter anything under /a/b/ and /c/d/? That I may only alter stuff under /mnt/union?
If so, that sounds like a significant limitation.

Also, is it possible to add new branches to an existing union mount? And to take old ones away? - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
