Right. My understanding is that the controversial part of unionfs is the
ability to join multiple writable file systems into a single tree. Is
this correct?
tbh, since Al reviewed it unfavorably, I haven't even bothered looking at it,
so I'm the wrong person to be asking. But ISTR there were a number
of issues rather than one sticking point.
Al would be a better person to ask about the gory details.
