I have a bad feeling that I spoke too soon... After recompiling the world and a kernel from completely new source code, the translucent filesystem appears to be working. Please note that I ma using staticly linked version of union and null now however. Before I was using the lkm versions of each. It is possible they where out of sync with the kernel I had installed I suppose. Should all the directories from the filesystem below be created in the above filesystem? The libc replacement code in /usr/src/sys/miscfs/union/ does not compile. Perhaps my not having a union minded libc is causing the duplication of directories (the above question) and it is certainly causing the names to appear twice. NetBSD and OpenBSD seemed to have merged these replacements into libc. Could we do the same? Thanks. --- Kent Vander Velden graphix@iastate.edu --- Kent Vander Velden graphix@iastate.edu
