| Jun 25, 2010 at 19:44 | comment | added | cheshirekow | Ok, I'm un-answering this. UnionFS, it seems, is only a half answer. It does mostly what I want, but it appears that you can't unionfs two directories together, and then mount the union to one of the two.. which is what I would need. One way (possibly) to finish the answer would be to do something with a chroot? i.e. create a fakeroot as the union of the roots of each drive, and then chroot into that. Will this work? I don't know how to use chroot. | |
| Jun 24, 2010 at 19:15 | comment | added | cheshirekow | So it appears that UnionFS was dropped from ubuntu since Karmic and replaced with unionfs-fuse (a fuse implementation rather than a kernal module). I like the idea of a kernel module better but this seems to be working quite well. This is, at least, exactly what I wanted so thanks for the good answer :). | |

| Jun 24, 2010 at 16:01 | comment | added | cheshirekow | Yeah, that's what I figured would be the problem. At first glance, UnionFS looks like it might work very well. I'll see if I can give that a try. | |
