here are two choices I can point to frm my own stuff. First, go to larry
mcvoy's web page and look for the paper on bigfoot. I have this code. I
have almost convinced myself that it is copyright clean at this point. If
you are interested I can make that last effort. It supports a service that
prrovides a union of a set of remote nfs servers. Tested on up to 32 
remote machines. Fast as it uses vector rpc. 

I have an incompatible-with-plan9 version of the plan9 file system 
working on freebsd and linux in user mode, and in linux vfs in kernel 
mode for the client.. Guess what -- this supports union mounts. You could 
build a union of all those random 9G disks. I could sure use a good 
freebsd vfs person to help me get the freebsd client going. This is 
all GPL'ed.
