On a more general level, what has higher priority a whiteout or a file?
whiteout, if it's 'valid' (i.e. serves a purpose) to exist, as all my
code does is skip whiteout searching if it doesn't matter if it exists.
If whiteout is the higher priority object, then readdir should not
display
the file created under these circumstances. => pushing the "problem" to
readdir :)
true, though readdir could ignore it in the right situations as well :)
I looked at unionfs_readdir() and am unsure how to get it to ignore
whiteouts that can be ignored, it should be in unionfs_filldir(),
Right. My readdir comment was more of a readdir(2) comment, rather then
unionfs_readdir.
unsure how to do it (never really bothered much w/ the readdir code
before as it mostly worked just fine).
It looks like it would require somewhat complex matching. :-/
my patch that touch the dirfops.c dirhelper.c is broken, it breaks dpkg,
do not know why at this time.
just to give you guys a headsup.
