How about this? # mount -t aufs -o ro,br:/sqfs2:/sqfs1 none /union # mount -t aufs -o br:/rw/var:/sqfs2/var:/sqfs1/var none /union/var # mount -t aufs -o br:/rw/home:/sqfs2/home:/sqfs1/home none /union/home > I am not sure about the cross filesystem mounts, can I do this: > > # mount -t aufs -o br:/mnt/sqfs2:/mnt/sqfs1 none /union > > # mount -t tmpfs -o ro none /tmp/tmp_var > # mount -o bind /rw/var /tmp/tmp_var/var > # mount -t aufs -o br:/tmp/tmp_var none /union Unfortunately I cannot understand well what you wrote. What do you want to do in the last mount line? J. R.
