Daichi-san,

We've been using an in-house LiveCD toolkit that uses unionfs  (where
cd9660 is the lower layer) and all I can say is that these patches are
very important, at least on => 6.X, otherwise things would just not
work. I believe the FreeSBIE folks also went thru the same experience
as they also do this (cd9960 lower, unionfs upper).

I have tried your p8-patchset diffs for about 2 weeks now and It Works
(TM). Will try your p9 diffs soon ;-)

Will these diffs remain to be diffs or do people think that these will
be integrated into the sources sometime?

Thanks!
