At timing solutions we found union mount to be a non-starter. Too
unstable for long term operations. symlinks are what we use. I
actually lied a little in a previous message. We do have a RW
partition, but we only store application sepcific data on it.
Of course our application doesn't have users who need to change their
passwords.... And even if they did, a simple mount -uw / ; passwd ;
mount -ur / would do the trick. Can't do that with cdrom :-)
