Daniele, --
I'm wondering what's wrong with FunionFS?
because i decided to trust unionfs more then one year ago. And i know
in general its development status. I know they aims to have it
included in the kernel in future and i even know it's well documented
and more tested.
i checked FunionFS home page and i can't find docs about it.
i guess if developer could find a way to support the feautere i
explained here ... that's great , if not i'll try to find a different
solution.
But let me ask first of all here.
I do not need that the fuse mount point is rw, i-d just need it can be
an ro branch.
PS: following the main points of the discussion we had ... my mistake
was that from the web frontend i didn-t click on 'reply to all' .. i-m
sorry for that:

no,

err:
# unionctl / --add --before /initrd/cow /initrd/fuse
and
# ls /
here it freezes
=========
It should be not needed unionfs, once you have fuse configured.
Could you please elaborate?
Unionfs pretend to be a "super-kernel" for filesystem access:
any direct changes on underlying branches are not noticed
in unionfs driver, and as result, are invisible on vfs in whole.
