Let me first preface by saying that I have not personally tried to
wrap the entire cd with union but I plan to soon as it would be a
nice experiment for the installer.
What I meant by limitations is in this scay man page for unionfs:
THIS FILE SYSTEM TYPE IS NOT YET FULLY SUPPORTED (READ: IT DOESN'T WORK)
AND USING IT MAY, IN FACT, DESTROY DATA ON YOUR SYSTEM. USE AT YOUR OWN
RISK. BEWARE OF DOG. SLIPPERY WHEN WET.
This code also needs an owner in order to be less dangerous - serious
hackers can apply by sending mail to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> and announcing
their intent to take it over.
Without whiteout support from the file system backing the upper layer,
there is no way that delete and rename operations on lower layer objects
can be done. EROFS is returned for this kind of operations along with
any others which would make modifications to the lower layer, such as
chmod(1).
