Obvious example of bad behaviour:
# mkdir A # ls A # mount -t iso9600 /dev/cdrom A # touch a/b # ls a/b a/b # ls A/b ls: A/b: No such file or directory # umount A # ls A/b A/b # - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
