Hi, I'm using a 2.6.17 kernel, but unionfs 1.1.4 does not compile with this kernel. So I took the 1.1.4_r2 ebuild and did the following: - renamed it to 1.3 - removed the patch for 1.1.3_r15 - added "utils/" in the "dosbin" line before unionctl, uniondbg, unionimap After this, the package is compiled and merged properly. The unionfs module works as expected. The only thing is that the support for Reiser4 is not complete, the unified filesystem containing a reiser4-branch doesn't list de dentries properly. But I believe that's a known bug in unionfs. I wonder why unionfs 1.2 and 1.3 are not available in the current portage tree.

> I wonder why unionfs 1.2 and 1.3 are not available in the current portage tree. <fake reason> Well, basically because nobody requested :-) </fake reason> The real answer is that I wanted the upstream devs stabilize the version naming: as you can see from the home page, every release has to match its own kernel version.
1.1.5, 1.2 and 1.3 in portage, with kernel version check
