Correct. I'm sure that from 5.4-RELEASE to -STABLE unionfs work as
expected for me. The very strange thing is that a recalled file is
copied (with fixed permissions) to the upper layer even if it wasn't
modified. In my case, the upper layer is a mdmfs, so it will be surely
filled up to its entire size after running executables for a total
amount of 32Mb. Quite boring.

Bye,
Dario
