I tried this out last night with new current kernel on my sparc.
/usr/src was a clean src tree with no object files etc.
/home/src was a empty directory on another partition
I did "mount -t union /home/src /usr/src "
The intent was to have the original src tree be overlaid with
the products from make in /home/src.
The mount went ok:
<above>:/home/src 1077554 860490 203944 81% /usr/src
However, when I did from /usr/src, "make depend ",
it eventually hung. When I killed the window and went back to
/usr/src in another, "make " eventually hung, and I could not
access home/src .
Is "union_fs" still experimental, or am I doing somethin wrong?
