And yeah, using unionfs
Matt, It should be, but before you do such stuff, take a look at what's in /var and what other options we have put in place to do what you think you need to do. :) There are options in the rc.conf file which do things like "preserve logs" which would set up /var/log as a link to /mnt/kd instead of leaving log in tempfs. Some things like CDR files are already stored on /mnt/kd and already are setup with symbolic links. Perhaps let us know what you're trying to accomplish. It's probably possible to do what you're trying to do without using a stick of dynamite and a baseball bat. Otherwise you'll have to maintain your own images (which you may want to do anyway).
