I think that this may be another service which doesn't want to be available as an LKM. (IPFW is another, but for rather different reasons.) When the new code is integrated, mount_union will not be able to modload the unionfs module unless it is run by root, which rather defeats the purpose of allowing ordinary users to mount unionfs:es in the first place. -GAWollman -- Garrett A.
