I notice no one is making unionfs and nullfs work yet, still, and it's only been how many years since the initial 2.0 release? Eventually, you have to say "the 1st eschelon must have moved on, because all I see are bomb craters out there on hill 401...". If you respond "you can't work well with others...", I'll point out that there is little cooperation necessary between bomb fragments and a lone soldier with a divot replacement tool.
