System: NetBSD dahan.metonymy.com 1.3E NetBSD 1.3E (SPIFF) #213: Wed May 6 00:45:25 CDT 1998 khym@dahan.metonymy.com:/usr/src.local/sys/arch/i386/compile/SPIFF i386
>Description:
find(1)'s "-type W" option is supposed to match all whiteouts,
but it doesn't.
>How-To-Repeat:
Assuming a union mount with /lower as the lower layer and
/upper as the upper layer:
% cd /upper
% touch /lower/somefile
% rm somefile
% ls -WF
somefile%
% find . -type W
%
>Fix:
I'm pretty sure find used to work, so perhaps that block was
added for a reason... but it's not doing the right thing :)
