This would be a simple change to sbuild/sbuild-chroot-facet-union.cc: diff --git a/sbuild/sbuild-chroot-facet-union.cc b/sbuild/sbuild-chroot-facet-un index 8120024..a397f47 100644 --- a/sbuild/sbuild-chroot-facet-union.cc +++ b/sbuild/sbuild-chroot-facet-union.cc @@ -151,6 +151,7 @@ chroot_facet_union::set_union_type (std::string const& type) { if (type == "aufs" || type == "unionfs" || + type == "unionfs-fuse" || type == "none") this->union_type = type; else This simply permits "union-type=unionfs-fuse" in the configuration file. Would any other support be required in addition, e.g. in the setup scripts? You would definitely need to add support to etc/setup.d/10mount, even if it's as simple as diff --git a/etc/setup.d/10mount b/etc/setup.d/10mount index 29636d1..78cdbad 100755 --- a/etc/setup.d/10mount +++ b/etc/setup.d/10mount @@ -86,7 +86,7 @@ do_mount_fs_union() # Prepare mount options (branch config) for union type if [ -z "$CHROOT_UNION_MOUNT_OPTIONS" ]; then case $CHROOT_UNION_TYPE in - unionfs) + unionfs|unionfs-fuse) CHROOT_UNION_MOUNT_OPTIONS="dirs=${CHROOT_UNION_OVERLAY_DIRECTOR ;; aufs) But if you needed any additional special mount options, you could add them here. If those options require additional keys in schroot.conf, they would need adding to sbuild-chroot-facet-union.(cc|h). I'm afraid I don't use the union functionality myself, which makes validation and testing of this feature difficult. I'll be happy to review any changes, but you might also want to run them by Jan-Marek Glogowski (CCd) who authored the unionfs support and should be a bit more familiar with it than myself.
