I have been experimenting with union mounts today with a recent -stable (cvsupped yesterday), and I haven't had much luck. Because cvsup likes to obliterate local changes, I thought it would be convenient to keep the altered files on a separate filesystem and use a union mount to overlay them on the upstream source when I compile things. So: # mount /dev/da0s1a on / (local, writes: sync 420 async 3185) procfs on /proc (local) /dev/da0s1e on /www (local, writes: sync 2 async 0) # mount /dev/da0s1f /srcdelta # ls -l /srcdelta total 1 drwxr-xr-x 6 root wheel 512 Feb 18 10:32 sys # umount /srcdelta # ls /usr/src COPYRIGHT UPDATING include share CVS bin kerberosIV sys Makefile contrib lib tools Makefile.inc0 crypto libexec usr.bin Makefile.inc1 etc release usr.sbin Makefile.upgrade games sbin README gnu secure # mount -o union /dev/da0s1f /usr/src # ls -l /usr/src total 1 drwxr-xr-x 6 root wheel 512 Feb 18 10:32 sys # umount /usr/src # uname -a FreeBSD shirt.www.demon.net 3.1-STABLE FreeBSD 3.1-STABLE #6: Thu Feb 18 02:26:59 GMT 1999 root@shirt.www.demon.net:/usr/src/sys/compile/SHIRT i386 # However, on another machine running 3.0-RELEASE mount -o union works as expected: # ls -l total 6 drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Feb 18 16:36 da1 drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Dec 11 11:06 da2 # mount /dev/da1s1e da1 # mount /dev/da2s1e da2 # ls -l da?/* -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 0 Feb 18 16:36 da1/this_is_da1 -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 0 Feb 18 16:36 da2/this_is_da2 # umount da2 # mount -o union /dev/da2s1e /www/da1 # ls -l da?/* -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 0 Feb 18 16:36 da1/this_is_da1 -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 0 Feb 18 16:36 da1/this_is_da2 # Shirt's kernel configuration is below.
