Still I don't understand what the 'check' means, but I agree that all
the checks are passed. Additionally we can use superio.

Disappearing is what we want when the dest branch doesn't support it
since current unionfs doen't merge or convert xattr between the diffrent
filesystems. Of course I don't want unionfs to do that. But I want to
know what the problem the lack of xattr on the dest filesystem leads to.
If there is no problems, probably unionfs ignores xattr in safe.
