sorry, can't follow you: root@fslab3 ~>unionfs-fuse -ocow,nonempty repdir=RW:/var/log=RO testdir root@fslab3 ~>echo foo >> testdir/cups/access_log If you are working as another user and the copy-from-directory/file/path is owned by root or another user, then you will need to wait for 0.25, which has a new flag "-o relaxed_permissions" for non UID=0 or GID=0 users. And it is a wish-list bug then. Cheers, Bernd -- Bernd Schubert [email protected] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected]
