Just got reading the man for both of those. The thing I am wondering about is, under what circumstances are they dangerous to use. Mainly in unionfs, since I don't think it can be done using nullfs. Any ways, here is what is happening... I have two drives mounted, and I want the contents from both to appear in one dir. So I have one blank dir that those filesystems are union mounted too. The other thing I was wondering about is this... having a second home dir and union mounting it to ~ for the purpose of storing over ride configs for the base rcs.... mainly for making it some what easier for keeping seperate settings for some programs based on what machine it is on. Not tried this yet, but been thinking about it. Any ways, input is welcome :) I am guessing the answer, given the big warning in the man for both is that this is going to be a no that both are dangerous to the data and luck is mainly involved in not having the data screwed over, but just wanna check :) Thanks in advance! :)
