.goutputstream-XXXXX - possible to relocate?

I've been trying t开发者_JAVA技巧o create a union file system for a college project. One of its features that differentiates it from unionfs is the fact that there are no copy-ups. This means that if a file is located in a certain branch, it will remain there even if it is written to.

But my current problem with that is the fact that .goutputstream-XXXXX are created, renamed, and deleted whenever a write operation occurs. This is actually OK if the file being written to is in the highest priority branch (i.e. the default branch where files can be created), but makes my kernel crash if I try to write to a file in a lower branch.

How do I deal with this? How can I rig it so that all .goutputstream-XXXXX files are written to only one location? These .goutputstream-XXXXX files seem to be intricately connected to the files they correspond too, and seem to work only the same directory as the file being written to.

I also noticed that .goutputstream-XXXXX files appear when a directory is read. What are they for, anyway?

There has been a bug submitted to the ubuntu launchpad in which the creation of .goutputstream-xxxxx files is discussed. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/984785

From what i see now, these files are created when shutting down without preceding logout, but several other sources may occur, like evince or maybe gedit. maybe lightdm has something to do with the creation of these files.

which distribution did you use? maybe changing the distribution would help.

.goutputstream-XXXXX created by gedit and there is no simple way (menu or settings) to relocate them.
