 Have a look

 But there's no unionfs-utils unless you're using sabayon overlay...

I have seen many people mentioning UnionFS.  
What exactly is it, and what does it do?
(:P Besides the statement that it is an FS.)

 quoting from wikipedia[1]:
 UnionFS is a Linux filesystem service which implements
 a union mount for Linux file systems. It allows files and 
 directories of separate file systems, known as branches, to 
 be transparently overlaid, forming a single coherent file system.

 Keep America beautiful.  Swallow your beer cans.

So, at this point in time it is not something
that I personally need to focus on.  That is
however usefull info.  I will keep it in mind
for when someone else asks the question later.
What is not 100% useful to me, may be just what
someone else needs. ^_^
