Hi,

I'm currently having some problems with the Union-FS in -stable. I've 
mounted a CD-ROM (the ports distfiles, to be specific) on /cdrom and
the ports-Collection via NFS from my 2nd home box. If I do a 

	mount_union /usr/ports/distfiles /cdrom/distfiles

I simply get something along the lines "/usr/ports/distfiles read-only
filesystem", although this is definitley _not_ true... The other way 
round, i.e.

	mount_union /cdrom/distfiles /usr/ports/distfiles

works, but is "sub-optimal" becaus this way I can't augment the 
distfiles-collection on the CD with the current archives ;(

I'm using NetBSD for the rest of my "herd" (mostly pmaxes, a 
SPARCstation and some more) and there I can mount a local filesystem
over a read-only mounted NFS filesystem (i.e. /usr/obj over /usr/src).

Both machines are running 2.2.7-stable with a kernel cvsupped last
weekend (i.e. 09/25 - 28 timeframe). Do I have to do special "voodoo
rituals" when mounting the CD-ROM or is there something
broken in the Union-FS ?

MTIA,
Marc

PS:
Another thing I noted yesterday was a 'panic' while doing a 'find -name 
work' over the NFS-mounted /usr/ports... I'll try to reproduce it to see 
if it was just some 'bogons' or a real bug ;)
