Unionfs retries operations only when going from lower priority branch to
one of higher. The case you describe, is the opposite - going from higher
priority branch to lower. In the case of mknod, what would happen if mknod
failed because a file already exists under that name? If unionfs tried to
create the node on a lower priority branch, the new node file would be
hidden by the one in the higher priority branch => very bad.
Hmm. I had to sit and think about it for a while, but I think I
understand.
Can you give an example of a low-to-high operation that unionfs supports
that it would retry?
And my problem still stands.. the vfat+tmpfs idea. Care to offer any
ideas/advice on that topic?
Thanks,
