Re: [PATCH] settrans -gl only kills the active translator

[Roland McGrath]

I agree with Neal that a FS_TRANS_* flag is more appropriate--that leaves
goaway_flags as purely flags passed on to the fsys_goaway RPC, which is a
clear and easy thing to understand.  I think we should call the new flag
FS_TRANS_ORPHAN, and the settrans option --orphan (perhaps
--detach-old-translator as an alias).  I think the "orphaned child
filesystem" metaphor stands up, as I imagine that children become orphans
unceremoniously by finding themselves suddenly unable to find their
parents, rather than by receiving a friendly request to absent themselves
from the family and quietly commit suicide, while retaining veto power on
the whole decision.
