From: Jan Blunck <jblunck@xxxxxxx> In case of an union directory we don't want that the directories on lower layers of the union "show through". So to prevent that the contents of underlying directories magically shows up after a mkdir() we set the S_OPAQUE flag if directories are created where a whiteout existed before.
