I have used neither of unionfs and aufs.

I have had some difficulties with overlay file systems in "lenny", I have a diskless cluster where I wanted to overlay two different NFS-mounted file-systems, and was not able to solve the problem within the scope of lenny-packaged tools. Aufs does work in general, but not in the case where I wanted it. I'm not aware of any comparisons between unionfs and aufs, but my intuition is that the kernel system should have better performance. -- A. -- Andrew Reid / reidac(a)bellatlantic.net -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
