Mount_union does work much better than mount_null on -STABLE systems.  
I've set up jails where I've had a read-only filesystem union mounted 
under a read/write filesystem allowing me to use the same base O/S 
files, except for sensitive files and directories, keeping the changed 
bits in the filesystem above the "base".
