Hi,

My question is:
Is the mount union mentioned in MOUNT(8)  also affected by the slippery wet=
=20
floor  in MOUNT_UNION(8)??
Or can I safely use the mount with the option union?

MOUNT(8)

Theres an option of mount union,

"union Causes the namespace at the mount point to appear as the union of=20
the mounted filesystem root and the existing directory. Lookups will be=20
done in the mounted filesys=AD tem first. If those operations fail due to a=
=20
non-exis=AD tent file the underlying directory is then accessed. All creates=
=20
are done in the mounted filesystem. "

Ok, good enough,
then I lookup MOUNT_UNION(8)

and there I see the BUG notice about the DOG and SLIPPERY WET FLOOR,...
