If findfs wasn't able to find the label, it's not going to mount your unionfs partition. Are you certain that you rebooted after creating the unionfs partition? (ie fdisk /dev/hda ; create new partition bla bla reboot) Then after rebooting 'genunion /dev/hda2' I don't know how well the usb thumb drive will work for the unionfs partition. I haven't tested it. If you have a 1GB CF card, you have a large amount of space available on that card for your unionfs partition. I strongly recommend using that and not using the usb thumb drive. > The genunion script appears to run correctly.

These are then mounted at boot time.
