Intruiging, I managed to miss that one.
I tried it out, in case anyone's interested.
Limitations: you can't unlink directories.

However, the rest did work pretty well. I did a quick acid test:
"mounted" a translucent directory, and then rsynch'ed a differnet
filesystem onto it... ;)

Other than directory unlinking stuff, it works quite well. No crashes
yet. The interface (via sysctl) is a little odd, but it seems to work
OK.

Cheers,
Liam
