The ability to mount two file systems at the same mount point. You mount a r/w filesystem on top of a r/o file system. If you write to a file, it is redirected to the r/w filesystem. Reads come out of the r/o filesystem unless a file of the same name exists on the r/w filesystem. So, you could mount a r/w disk on top of a r/o dcss. Way cool.
