Btw, If someone could talk davej into including unionfs into the Fedora kernel, we'd use that instead of dm-snapshot and we'd have persistence more easily solved [1].
I think the comments Al Viro had on it the last time it was reviewed were for the most part unprintable. I wouldn't hold your breath for this to appear any time soon.
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.
