You could also have some sort of 'hidden symlink', i.e. something that behaves just like a file but is in fact a link to some other filesystem. If that other filesystem is not accessable, all operations return -EIO.
Not sure if this is a sane solution, but it would make my cow-stuff work across filesystems as well.
