Last time I tried, it was unusable, and from the discussions
on the lists it became apparent that it wouldn't change in
4-stable.
However, the union flag on standard mounts (i.e. -o union,
which can be combined with almost anything, including
loopback NFS mounts) works perfectly fine. It doesn't
provide all of the features of UNIONFS, but it can be used
as a substitute in many common situations. I'm using it
extensively, for example for shared read-only binaries
across jails, and I've yet to see a panic.
