Thanks, it does work when I mount the leftmost branch rw. The reason I
did mount both directories ro was, that directories on the ro branch got
copied into the rw branch (I didn't do that...). So I had these
directories on both filesystems. I don't know if this is an expected
behaviour... I want to avoid having duplicate directories (and the files
in them) in the branches! Is there any option I can pass to unionfs, so
that it doesn't do that? The ro-branch is ~120G with < 100MB free space,
the rw-branch ~250G with 100G+ free.
