That's the same reason I'm not using unionfs, although I'd very much like to. It would make a lot of the stuff I do with shared DASD *much* easier. Mark, do you know if Novell plans to make unionfs (or anything like it) available in SLES anytime soon? Can we nudge them in that direction? - MacK. ----- Edmund R.
