But it kind of worked. There were no panicks due to access of the directories union-mounted. Trying to unmount it caused a panick, though 2) Null mounts "almost" work - I nullmounted my src subdirectory on /usr/src and tried make world on it. The result - it got going fairly well, but at some moment paniced and ate my /sbin. > > Seriously, there are a LOT of cool things we could do with a working > unionfs (like make /usr/obj go away and/or change significantly) but Have a real read-only root partition with /etc null-mounted from somewhere else (/var/etc ?) from rc? > after more than 2 years, I'm hardly going to hold my breath for it. > Too many things need to happen first, like the Lite2 merge, and we > haven't got enough people working on that right now to make quick > progress.
