Unionfs 1.4 has just been released. This release includes fixes for
compilation on 64bit systems, copyup now works with files larger than 2GB, a
limited remount is available (you can now remount unions read-only, etc. -
dirs=, imap=, debug=, and other flags specified will be ignored & warning is
displayed), a new mount option "separator" has been added - one can now use
any string one wants to separate the branches during mount.

This release is intended for 2.6.18 kernels only.

The package can be found at
