pls find following some patches to the live-intramfs code for initial
Ubuntu (<=Jaunty) support.

 From http://aufs.sourceforge.net/

Note: it becomes clear that "Aufs was rejected. Let's give it up."
According to Christoph Hellwig, linux rejects all union-type filesystems
but UnionMount.

Therefore in the future, maybe it's better that live-initramfs can support
unionfs-fuse, and unionmount. My 2 cents.

Is unionmount already mature?
AFAIK, no, and it's not in kernel 2.6.30.

Could it mount NFS too?

How it handles whiteouts?

It seems to me the cleaner solution in theory, but maybe it is just too young right now.
I agree.

Steven.
