Re: the current status of nullfs, unionfs

Hi David, Nullfs works better than unionfs. Unionfs worked well in 4.X. Despite numerous minor bugs such as being unable to cope with FIFOs, several people have reported using it quite successfully on production systems. However, unionfs no longer works quite as well in 5.X or -CURRENT.

Hello! The respected manual contain dire warnings, but the Google search suggests, the situation is not *that* gloomy. For example, according to http://kerneltrap.org/node/652 , nullfs was used on Bento-cluster two years ago in 2003. Is anybody working on this file-systems? Any plans,
