Hello list,

on working with a persistent live-system I noticed, that the live-snapshot ignores deleted files (means, when i delete a file which exists in the filesystem.squashfs, after a reboot it is back again. Deleted files are indicated with a .wh.filename file on the cow-filesystem, which are explicit excluded in the snapshot-command:

> # removing whiteouts from list
> find . -path '*.wh.*' -prune -o -print0 >> "${TMP_FILELIST}"

So i thought this is may be a volitional behavior. But some lines above the quoted lines, this behavior is marked as a bug.

Can somebody explain, why it behaves on this way, and if this is intended or not? The manual just says "Snapshots cannot currently handle file deletion"

Greetings,
Michael
