Hmmm, it doesn't seem to be necessary here, as I can loopback mount
the original squashfs images with the updated kernel (2.6.20).
I've just checked the startGoboLinux script, and it does a call to unionctl:
for i in /Mount/CD-ROM/Packages*.squashfs; do
mount -o loop,ro -t squashfs $i /Mount/SquashFS/`basename $i .squashfs`
unionctl /Mount/TmpFS/Programs --add --after /Mount/TmpFS/Programs \
--mode ro /Mount/SquashFS/`basename $i .squashfs`
done
The current UnionFS snapshot doesn't allow one to use dynamic branches
(we were using UnionFS 1.x, which is now freezed; the new development
is going into 2.x, which doesn't have all features commited yet). So,
in other words, you'll probably need to compile a new kernel with an
updated squashfs patch, keeping the old UnionFS patches.. :-(
