Unionmount provides almost the same functionality as overlayfs. The big difference between the two is that unionmounts resides 100% in the VFS while 95% of overlayfs is plain filesystem code. I think that's the biggest advantage: filesystem code is easier to maintain, has less impact on core complexity, etc. Aufs provides much better filesystem semantics than either unionmounts or overlayfs. But that does come at a price: aufs: 98 files changed, 29893 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) overlayfs: 22 files changed, 2981 insertions(+), 10 deletions(-) Thanks, Miklos -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
