Thank you very much. I think that to have the latest unionfs patch for
the latest stable kernel release will be helpfull.
The patch applies quite cleanly to 2.6.21.5-rt18:

However, building the kernel now fails with:
fs/unionfs/inode.c: In function ‘unionfs_permission’:
fs/unionfs/inode.c:1044: error: ‘struct rw_semaphore’ has no member
named ‘wait_list’
fs/unionfs/inode.c:1101: error: ‘struct rw_semaphore’ has no member
named ‘wait_list’
This is a vanilla 2.6.21.5 patched with 2.6.21.5-rt18, squashfs patch
for 2.6.20, unionfs 2.6.21.5-u1 and bootsplash-3.1.6-2.6.21
Best regards,
Roman

Yeah, I think that's doable. I assume you want it for 2.6.21.LATEST, right?
I'd second this request actually.. If at all possible it'd be great if
unionfs2 tracked linux's vanilla stable as well as the latest-rc... if
it's not too much work.
I've been running a diskless boot system off of unionfs1, and I'd enjoy
getting it moved to 2 since it's much easier to work with in an early
boot setup.
Thanks,

Done. We backported the code to 2.6.21.5. I just released it. Give it a
try and let me now how it works for you (we're happy to be "spammed" by
success stories, not just bug reports :-)
To all, if there are any other stable 2.6 kernels you really need unionfs2
for, please send me an email. Based on how much demand there is, we'll do
our best to accommodate (the older the kernel is, however, the longer it
could take to back-port the code).
Thanks,
Erez.
