:Hey, : :I'm thinking about making a proposal for the unionfs project. : :On the subject of whiteouts, I've done some digging, and found this :message from a few years ago: : :http://leaf.dragonflybsd.org/mailarchive/kernel/2011-04/msg00005.html : :Matthew Dillon mentions that files with special suffixes could be used to :represent deleted files. Various unionfs implementations on Linux :seem to do something pretty similar with special files on the writable :filesystem. : :Would there be any objections to handling deletions this way, at least :to start with? : :Thanks, : :C Davis :jabber/xmpp - [email protected] No objections at all. I think that's a good way to handle it. -Matt
