The following reply was made to PR bin/7417; it has been noted by GNATS. From: dag-erli@ifi.uio.no (Dag-Erling =?iso-8859-1?Q?Co=EFdan?= =?iso-8859-1?Q?Sm=F8rgrav?= ) To: freebsd-gnats-submit@freebsd.org Cc: Subject: Re: bin/7417 Date: 17 Sep 1998 01:50:10 +0200 It's not that simple. Having RTFS, it looks to me like 'ls -W' doesn't work on -stable simply because -stable's version of the fts library doesn't know about whiteout. The alternatives are either to fix -stable's fts library, or to undocument the -W option. It seems to me that the latter is TRT because I have a hunch that the description of the -W switch in the man page was MFCed by mistake during a pre- release MFC run. Since unionfs doesn't work anyway (and isn't likely to get fixed any time soon), I see no point in keeping this PR open.
