That's one of the COW file systems that I was hinting at. I have been following UnionFS for some time. It also has some potential performance advantages that I could appreciate. Last time I had a working system with it, there were still a number of functional problems (some popular file operations just not working). After all, you do tweak the file system semantics and the question is whether you can get away with it. Too bad Linux does not implement the union bind from BSD.
