This is really hollering for an implementation of stackable mounts. (Or translucent mounts, or whatever the current buzzword for it is.) Stacked mounts are one of the joys of Plan 9, and we could do well by following their lead. (Wasn't there broken FS code in 4.4 that tried to implement something like this? It's been a while since I looked at a raw 4.4 source tree ...) I'm sure Terry can comment on this :-) --lyndon
