live-boot: live-snapshot ignores deleted files. Why?
Hello list,
on working with a persistent live-system I noticed, that the
live-snapshot ignores deleted files (means, when i delete a file which
exists in the filesystem.squashfs, after a reboot it is back again.
Deleted files are indicated with a .wh.filename file on the
cow-filesystem, which are explicit excluded in the snapshot-command:
> # removing whiteouts from list
> find . -path '*.wh.*' -prune -o -print0 >> "${TMP_FILELIST}"
So i thought this is may be a volitional behavior. But some lines above
the quoted lines, this behavior is marked as a bug.
Can somebody explain, why it behaves on this way, and if this is
intended or not? The manual just says "Snapshots cannot currently handle
file deletion"
Greetings,
Michael
