Does this mean that if I have /a/b/ and /c/d/ unionised under /mnt/union, I
am not allowed to alter anything under /a/b/ and /c/d/? That I may only
alter stuff under /mnt/union?
If so, that sounds like a significant limitation.
haven't we been through this? It's the same thing as modifying a block
device while a file system is using it. Now, when unionfs gets confused,
it shouldn't oops, but would one expect ext3 to allow one to modify its
backing store while its using it?
