A nice thing that BSD has and Linux doesn't (AFAIK, anyway) is
union_mount, which allows you to mount a device on a direcory,
*retaining* the entries of the directory and just adding the entries
from the filesystem on the device. That should be really neat
(although I've never tried it). Also, I think I read sometime in
Kernel Traffic that someone was to implement that for Linux; does
anyone know what's the status of that?
