Well, I tried the unioned sandbox method and it didn't seem to work for me.
I appears I have an unsupported kernel (fc4 vintage). The logs mention that I can add some extra flags to the command but I am unsure of the impact or repercussions. Comments are welcome. I have pasted some text from my session, any assistance would be greatly appreciated. ******************************************************************************** Would you like a unioned sandbox (quicker, smaller, maybe less stable) [y]/n: y Using union filesystem ... qtp-mount-sandbox v0.2.6 --No existing unionfs12 found.
