Let's look at the directory case: Say we have shadow fs installed on
/bin, and it has two underlying directories /bar/bin and /foo/bin.
There are two files /bar/bin/b and /foo/bin/f
What happens if you open /bin, for instance by cd:ing to it or listing
it? With Moritz' code, you get a shadowfs-managed node, that
"contains" both files b and f. That means that shadowfs handling of
directories and files differ, and makes for interesting border cases.
Do I understand you correctly that opening /bin should simply result
in a port to either /bar/bin or /foo/bin, with no fancy merging of the
directory contents? Then ls won't show the truth for shadowfs
directories, or am I missing something?
