OK, replying to myself here, I just had a quick look
around, and it seems that lenny has migrated to "aufs", which
is an alternate implementation of "stackable" filesystems, but
as far as I can tell, stackable file-system functionality
is not packaged in etchnhalf -- is that right, or am I
missing something?
Neither aufs nor unionfs are built by the source package
linux-modules-extra-2.6-etchnhalf, and the user-space versions
(unionfs-fuse, and/or funionfs) only appear in lenny and sid.
So, let me pass this on -- anyone know how to do unionfs
in etchnhalf?
