I think -o union is something different entirely. :/

From one of my fstabs:

/class/dist0/src /usr/src null rw,hidden
/class/local0/src /usr/src union rw,hidden

You know, I wonder how many people on this project actually actively
use the wiki over at onetbsd.org?  One of the things that really seems
to drag it back is the way good ideas go whizzing by in the mailing
lists, and are never heard from again. I wouldn't be surprised if the
list archives contain greatly improved layerfs five times over, if there
were a way to assemble 14 years of mail fragments into a design.
