AFAIK in FreeBSD unionfs is buggy, in NetBSD it is usable. But I don't really want to switch over to NetBSD as I like FreeBSD for other things. It seems that the libc files getdir readdir and fts from 4.4-BSD are not even moved into the production tree. Is this all what is needed? Does anybody know what bugs are in FreeBSD unionfs?
