Talk:Union mount

General Description[edit]

The general discussion of union mounts is vague and misleading. Maybe take a something from http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=mount_unionfs&sektion=8&apropos=0&manpath=FreeBSD+9.0-RELEASE+and+Ports — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rbeef (talk • contribs) 21:00, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comparison[edit]

It might be good to compare with the way things are done on Unix and Linux. - KitchM (talk) 13:37, 30 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Confusion[edit]

Union mounts are not "implemented by a filesystem", they are (must be) implemented in the VFS layer as a generic feature of mount points. A union filesystem, when mounted as the upper layer in a union mount, implements the COW semantics, but this is not required to use a union mount. 174.214.250.80 (talk) 19:18, 4 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sources[edit]

The article is not properly footnoted. The references need to be identified where they are used and the bibliography section is not done properly. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.245.34.58 (talk) 18:30, 23 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"The Translucent File Service"[edit]

Does the The Translucent File Service from 1988 also count as a union mount?
