I will enable it now. I just had an old config and ran into this. But this does raise the question unionmount-testsuite need to be maintained somewhere so that it acts as a baseline to figure out if new patches broke some existing tests. I can go by the tree you are maintaining but currently that's broken too with REDIRECT_DIR=n. Vivek > > >> > >> I guess not.
