Hello,
It was agreed that unionmount should forward some of the RPCs invoked
on its control port to the mountee. Most (if not all) of such RPCs
are the fsys_* ones. I've made up a list of RPCs which should be
proxied in my opinion and I've also added a short explanation as to
how this proxying should work:
* fsys_goaway: Both the mountee and unionmount should go away.
* fsys_syncfs: Sync both the mountee and the underlying filesystem.
* fsys_set_options: This RPC should be forwarded to the mountee
completely. unionmount does not have any command line switches that
would make much sense being altered at run-time.
* fsys_get_options: This RPC should be forwarded to the mountee
completely. The reasoning is the same as for fsys_set_options.
There also are some RPCs which I am not certain about:
* fsys_getfile: I don't really understand what this one does.
* fsys_forward: From what antrik told me, this RPC should be forwarded
to the mountee completely; however, antrik also told me that this
RPC could be ignored, so I think I'll try to forward this completely
and see if it works.
In any case, I think that the fact that these RPCs are so rarely used
shows that unionmount can forward them completely to the mountee
without bothering to handle them specially.
