I actually read a discussion somewhere, where the user was saying that
setting the opaque flag was supposed to help in some instances (sorry, I
didn't quite follow what they were trying to do, and I can't find that
thread anymore...)
The only definition I've found so far is:
The opaque flag will prevent a full union stack
traversal on later lookups.
I have absolutely no idea what this means.

How can I reboot into single-user mode to clear these files?
Thanks again :)
All My Best,
