While using unionfs, you could experience more permission errors or difficult or impossible file or directory deletion. This is a list of things that can happen. WARNINGS: - If the translator is run as by an unpriviledged user, other users will fail to create files or directory, since the translator won't be able to change the ownership of the file. PROBLEMS: - If there's a name conflict in underlying filesystems between directories and files -- say that "foo" is a directory in underlying filesystem "a" while is a file in the underlying filesystem "b" -- then unionfs will be unable to delete this entry. This is a structural BUG (there's no clean way to solve it), and should be fixed. - If there's a name conflict in underlying filesystems between directories (or between files), and the user has not permission to delete _ALL_ the entries -- e.g. one hidden entry is read-only -- then he will get an EPERM even if permissions seems ok. This is a structural BUG (there's no clean way to solve it), and should be fixed.
