The problem is, if you have a 1GB file on the hard disk (which would be a ro branch for unionfs), whenever you append to it, Unionfs will copy the entire file into the rw branch, and append the data there. So, with a 4GB flash disk, all you have to do is append to 8, 512MB files stored on the disk, and your flash is full. > But I would like to recycle the idea in another computer.

Long time ago, Unionfs used to copy up the files from read only branches whenever you accessed them (pre 1.0.10, I think). I wouldn't really recommend using such old versions unless you really have a good reason to.
