That is a long story, Victor. Over the past 10+ years, there have been several competing unioning solutions out there, but the Linux VFS maintainers never liked any of them for a variety of reasons (mainly complexity) — until recently. Miklos Szeredi has developed an implementation called “overlayfs” which is now part of linux-3.18-rc2. I would assume that overlayfs would eventually become the officially supported unioning solutions that most others will use.
For now, I plan on supporting Unionfs as long as there’s users of it.
