Here is what I am trying to do: mount_unionfs -o below /usr/jails/basejail /usr/jail/jail1 after I do that I edit /usr/jail/jail1/etc/rc.conf and add the appropriate entries to the host system rc.conf, but when I start the jail it starts using the settings from /usr/jails/basejail. Is my mount_unionfs syntax wrong, is this a bug in unionfs (man page says unionfs is broken, but doesn't specify how its broken) or is this expected behavior?
