Hi Dave,
There's interest in having a mailing list specifically for "union
filesystem" like solutions (currently active projects are aufs,
union-mounts and overlayfs).
Would it be possible to create one on vger for this purpose?
Thanks,
Miklos

BTW, unionfs isn’t inactive (http://unionfs.filesystems.org, http://git.fsl.cs.sunysb.edu/?o=age).
Cheers,
Erez.

I've created linux-unionfs@vger.kernel.org

While this is a great move, it's also a little unfortunate, since it is the
name of exactly one layered filesystem solution out of 4 existing ones
(ignoring vaporware).
A neutral name would have been linux-layeredfs, and as long as nobody objects,
I kindly ask you to rename it (as in creating such a ml, and silently phase
out this one..). Given that 13 people are subscribed by now, that's hopefully
acceptable for all participants.
BTW, all solutions organize the fs join by layering them. ;)
A layered fs user since about a decade,
Pete

Sorry I'm not changing the name, it's extremely inconvenient for all of
the people maintaining archives of this list.
I also do not agree with the degree to which the name not being generic
enough matters, sorry. So I wouldn't have changed it on that grounds
anyways.

I'm fine with sticking with it as it is.
