Talk:Union mount

General Description
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)

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

Confusion
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)

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