-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.
