Depends on who you ask, but imo it boils down to this: - Use one filesystem as backing store, usually ro. - Have another filesystem on top for extra functionality, usually rw access.
Famous example is a rw-CDROM, where writes go to hard drive and unchanged data is read from CDROM. But it makes sense for other things as well.
