Description Fabio Erculiani 2006-10-16 02:23:05 UTC 
Why not? we would have a rock solid support for unionfs and let us to start to use it on LiveCDs/DVDs ?

What's wrong with sys-fs/unionfs? And read http://dev.gentoo.org/~dsd/genpatches/faq.htm before requesting kernel patches,  please.
Comment 2 Fabio Erculiani 2006-10-16 02:33:06 UTC 
Nothing wrong but, sys-fs/unionfs builds a kernel _module_ !

Yes, and what's the problem?
Comment 4 Daniel Drake (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-10-16 05:18:09 UTC 
Get it accepted upstream please, that way it will appear in gentoo-sources automatically. Also, catalyst/genkernel already support unionfs through the sys-fs/unionfs package, even though it does build a module.
