A technical article on our Unionfs (for Linux) is scheduled to appear in the
November issue of ACM's Transactions on Storage journal.  Although our
implementation happens to be on Linux, many of the issues discussed in the
article are generic to namespace merging/management.  We've made this
article available to you on http://unionfs.filesystems.org/.  It is my hope
that the article might be helpful to the FreeBSD community in producing a
stable and versatile unioning file system.

Cheers,
Erez.
