While you're looking at nullfs... I get a ENAMETOOLONG while trying to
mount a FS with nullfs or unionfs. The funny thing: realpath reports a
max of 79 characters for both pathnames.

{71} <FreeBSD 5.1-CURRENT> [M87:~netchild/FreeBSD/SystemOnCD]
(62) root at ttyp0 # realpath work/SystemOnCD-1/usr/ports/distfiles |wc -c
      79

{0} <FreeBSD 5.1-CURRENT> [M87:~netchild/FreeBSD/SystemOnCD]
(63) root at ttyp0 # realpath /space/distfiles |wc -c
      17

{0} <FreeBSD 5.1-CURRENT> [M87:~netchild/FreeBSD/SystemOnCD]
(64) root at ttyp0 # mount -t unionfs -o -b /space/distfiles work/SystemOnCD-1/usr/ports/distfiles
unionfs: /space/distfiles: File name too long

{71} <FreeBSD 5.1-CURRENT> [M87:~netchild/FreeBSD/SystemOnCD]
(65) root at ttyp0 # mount -t unionfs -o -b /space/distfiles /mnt

Any ideas what's wrong or where I need to look for a bug?

Bye,
Alexander.
