-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hello Mikko, Friday, December 07, 2001, 8:49:37 PM, you wrote: > BUGS > THIS FILESYSTEM TYPE IS NOT YET FULLY SUPPORTED (READ: IT > DOESN'T > WORK) AND USING IT MAY, IN FACT, DESTROY DATA ON YOUR SYSTEM. > USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. BEWARE OF DOG. SLIPPERY WHEN WET. > A wee bit scary, isn't it? Well, I HOPE that doesn't apply to mount -o rdonly mounts since if it would, nullfs were REALLY broken. The same message is in the man page of mount_union, which would be the other, somewhat more flexible option to reach the goal I'm after, but since nullfs is doing something much easier, I hoped it would work. It might even be possible to use NFS to do the job but NFS is a PITA and in all cases much slower than nullfs (which doesn't do all too much) or unionfs... Can other people comment on this issue (system seems to run stable with about 2000 mountpoints, BTW)?
