[SOLVED] Abstract layer on top of folder
Hi, I want to create an abstract layer on top of a folder, so that if a program tries to change/create/delete a file inside the folder, the original folder/file stays untouched and the changes are written to a different location. If the program tries to read the changed file, the layer should provide the changed file, not the original file. How can I accomplish this?

Re: [SOLVED] Abstract layer on top of folder
You're describing what a union FS does. Either unionfs-fuse or aufs (requires a kernel rebuild) can be used to accomplish this.
Thanks, I'll take a look at it.

Look into aufs as well. It originally stood for "another union FS".
