I have seen several questions regarding the problems with unionfs.. and
every time the answer is something like "yeah, don't use it, it has
always been broken" ;-)  Now, I _thought_ ccd mirroring worked - I even
advertised it to some large site, but they didn't want to use it that
time (fortunately).

Maybe the kernel config file should have comments like

UNIONFS  # does not work!

because some of us may presume that things present in the config file
are expected to work... :-)
