I would expect this behavior. The question is if this is bad or not. I =20 don't doubt that it is not clean from the style point of view, but I =20 would expect that the files are correctly removed on deinstall of nero. > Has anyone ever considered using unionfs for /compat/linux/usr/share? > > One problem I can see is that 'share' is not the only directory > that should be shared. etc? It is not shared via the symlink directly, it's shared by the nature =20 of the linuxulator to fall through to the FreeBSD path if the =20 /compat/linux/ one is not there. So there's already some sort of =20 unionfs there, just not with the complete unionfs semantics. > I'm not sure unionfs is up to the job, but I'm wondering if any has > considered it or even tried it. I haven't. I'm not aware of anyone who has. Bye, Alexander. --=20 No woman can call herself free until she can choose consciously whether she will or will not be a mother. =09=09-- Margaret H.
