UNIONFS Stability

2003-07-19 Thread Rus Foster
Hi All,
How stable is unionfs? Reading the man page for mount_unionfs its says
that its not. Is that still true or is it better on 5.x? ATM I'm running
4.8

mount -o union is very stable for me. note that this is not quite the same
as mount_unionfs. i am using it on 5.1.

unionfs may work if you use it read-only and don't change files in the
lower layer, but your mileage may vary (i.e. expect problems).  There
might be some work on improving stability in the future, but it's
unlikely to be completely fixed soon.
