[edit] Ad-hoc snapshotting system

What is meant by ad-hoc snapshotting system here in the article? Hirzel 12:43, 29 November 2005 (UTC)

I this that unionfs is "ad-hoc" due to fact that it was not designed for this purporse and more appropriate snapshoting systems exist. --Alvin-cs ✉ 22:36, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Linux only?

The union file system is not Linux only, but is on FreeBSD as well - and has existed there much longer, as well.

The way the article is written, it does not seem to be able to make up its mind whether the article is Linux-specific or not...  DavidDouthitt  (Talk) 14:11, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] AUFS ?

"AuFS, which is a re-designed and re-implemented unionfs, is considered much more stable and can be recommended for production use" sounds like a shameless plug. According to sourceforge, AUFS is a project in beta status with only one developer and 27 subscribers on its mailing-list.
