The Debian-packaged kernel overlay file system is "aufs", which
seem to be a fork and/or successor of unionfs.
I have had some difficulties with overlay file systems in "lenny",
I have a diskless cluster where I wanted to overlay two different
NFS-mounted file-systems, and was not able to solve the problem
within the scope of lenny-packaged tools. Aufs does work in general,
but not in the case where I wanted it.
I'm not aware of any comparisons between unionfs and aufs,
but my intuition is that the kernel system should have better
performance.
