+A Stackable Unification File System (UnionFS) in userland via FUSE
+
+A stackable unification file system, which can appear to merge the contents of
+several directories (branches), while keeping their physical content separate.
+Unionfs is useful for unified source tree management, merged contents of split
+CD-ROM, merged separate software package directories, data grids, and more.
+Unionfs allows any mix of read-only and read-write branches, as well as
+insertion and deletion of branches anywhere in the fan-out.
+
+Why choose this:
+  * The filesystem has to be mounted after the roots are mounted when using the
+    standard module. With unionfs-fuse, you can mount the roots later and their
+    contents will appear seamlesly
+  * You get caching which speeds things up a lot for free
+  * You get nice stats (optional)
+  * Advanced features like copy-on-write and more
+
+Why NOT choose this:
+  * Compared to kernel-space solution we need lots of useless context switches
+    which makes kernel-only solution clear speed-winner (well, actually I've
+    made some tests and the hard-drives seem to be the bottleneck so the speed
+    is fine, too)
