Ah, I had to misunderstand, sorry. How about this? # mount -o bind /ro /union # mount -t aufs -o br:/rw/home:/ro/home none /union/home # mount -t aufs -o br:/rw/var:/ro/var none /union/var or it may be able to become more directly. # mount -o ro RO_DEV /union # mount -t aufs -o br:/rw/home:/union/home none /union/home # mount -t aufs -o br:/rw/var:/union/var none /union/var J.
