No Fred, I thought we covered this previously.

 From your "mount" command...
-snip-
none on / type unionfs (rw,dirs=/oldroot/mnt/asturw=rw:/oldroot/mnt/ 
asturo=ro)
-snip-

The unionfs "rw" overlay is "/oldroot/mnt/asturw" on top of the base  
"ro" filesystem "/oldroot/mnt/asturo".  The various other tmpfs  
filesystems are in RAM (with the symbolic link exceptions I mentioned  
previously). /tmp and /var are not a part of the base "ro"  
filesystem, so the "rw" unionfs does not overlay them.

Look again at my January 26 "Re: UnionFS".
