This may well be the most useful and powerful "new" puppy around. Used by

Magic. A normal mount replaces the mount point's visible contents with what
is being mounted. Union FS merges them!
/usr partition is too full? Move part of it elsewhere and use them both. Want
inidividual users to have their own software which runs off common libs as
required? Can do. Separate the "distro" from the "users"? Very nice.
OK. There are "ufs" items on the kernel sources and apt shows union-fs
packages. How do these relate and what needs be installed to make use of
this? Configuration? What happens to fs-tab?

ufs is the filesystem used by the bsd family of unices.
the unionfs kernel module should be named "unionfs", but it's not in
the kernel yet (debian-stable or vanilla).
