Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: unionfs-fuse
Ubuntu Release:
10.04 / Lucid Lynx
Package Version:
unionfs-fuse 0.23.hg.20090611-1
Running the following command sequence:
01 $ cd /tmp
02 $ mkdir tmp
03 $ cd tmp
04 $ ls
05 $ mkdir ro ro/subdir rw union
06 $ touch ro/subdir/file
07 $ unionfs-fuse -o cow /tmp/tmp/rw=RW:/tmp/tmp/ro=RO /tmp/tmp/union
08 $ ls -l union/subdir
insgesamt 0
-rw-r--r-- 1 wjg wjg 0 2010-05-31 16:09 file
09 $ rmdir union/subdir
10 $ ls -l union/subdir
ls: Zugriff auf union/subdir nicht möglich: No such file or directory
11 $ fusermount -u /tmp/tmp/union
Expected outcome:
I expect the command on line 09 to fail, as the directory union/subdir
is not empty.
Actual outcome:
Instead it succeeds. The contents below the directory are "lost".
Some additional context:
I want to use unionfs-fuse in the context of the Ubuntu Customization Toolkit
to avoid having to extract ISO and squashfs images. Several (python) packages
do a "rmdir -f /usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/*" to clean up packages no longer
relevant, relying on rmdir to fail silently when there are non-empty
directories. Unfortunately this strategy does not work with unionfs-fuse and
makes it unusable for UCK.
