While I don't have objection against the implementation in userspace, what will UnionMount handle about rmdir or rename dir? Those systemcalls need to test whether the dir is *logically* empty or not in kernel space, don't they? And I am afraid that UnionMount has to implement the similar thing, but it never mean to modify glibc is a bad idea.
