Hi, I am trying out unionfs for an embedded project where I want to allow updates and writes to a R/O squashfs filesystem. The union is created in linuxrc like so
mount -t unionfs -o dirs=/storage=rw:/realroot=ro none /union where /storage is a writable ext3 filesystem and /realroot is the R/O squashfs filesystem. The usual chroot then takes place, linuxrc exits and the init process starts Everything works great except for one thing, maybe this is an intentional feature that I've fundamentally misunderstood, but will it ever be possible to update the permissions on a directory in the union now? For instance changing permissions on /opt from "drwxr-x--- root root" to "drwxrwxrwx root root" seems to work alright. But my ordinary user still cannot access it, i.e. ls /opt: Permission denied. Using Linux 2.6.13.4 and unionfs-20051109-1835 snapshot. Any help appreciated!
