Package: unionfs-tools Version: 1.1.4+20060417.0541+debian-2 Severity: normal

Hi,

The man pages of unionfs-tools do not properly describe the actual behaviour
of unionfs:

- The page unionfs(4) says that the default value for the "delete" option is
  "all", however the NEWS file explains that the default is now "whiteout" and
  that "all" is not compiled in by default. Indeed, there is no way to mount a
  unionfs with "delete=all" (at least with the version I use, namely
  unionfs-modules-2.6.16-k7). I think it should be compiled in, some people
  (including myself) would use it.

- The page unionctl(8) describes what happens if a branch is used multiple
  times, but trying to actually use a branch several times results in an
  error.
