Various comments to the likes of 'turd polishing' can be found in the misc@ archives. IIRC, the developers gave up on this piece of functionality as it just wouldn't work reliably. See the archives and commit logs for a more detailed description.
Specifically I'm looking to have a writable directory mounted read-only in another location.
As another poster suggested, you can probably get away with local NFS mounts. Those have worked for me since 3.8, although I never put them to antthing resembling a stress test. YMMV. Cheers, Rogier -- If you don't know where you're going, any road will get you there.
