[Unionfs] unionfs - samba mount

[Harihara, Rama S]

Hi,

    I am new to unionfs and as part of a project we are doing, I wanted
to know if someone has already encountered this issue and found a
solution for the same:

 

 

I have a share on my NAS box and have Samba Mounted the share on to my
linux machine.

Then I did a mount -t unionfs...... to union the samba mounted directory
with another directory on my linux machine

 

Eg: now /share/pictures ( samba mounted directory ) is union'ed to
/usr/pictures.

 

So I can see all the pictures in samba share from /usr/pictures.

 

Now, I turned off my NAS box. 

 

But when I go do a 

 

unionctl  /usr/pictures -remove /share/pictures

 

I get a "realpath() host is down".

 

Is there no way to forcefully remove the directory(share/pictures) from
the union if the host is down?

 

If I turn back the NAS box on, then the remove call works! 

 

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Rama.
