we have been using unionfs for the first few years on the livecd and
until very recently we have been using aufs for this task ... the switch
to overlayfs only happened very recently. while we use the concept since
a decade on the livecd, we used it with different implementations of the
filesystem layer (and different issues/limitations in each of them).
