Hi, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
again some results from the unionfs theory. |
| 4 |
Seems the real problem is not the unionfs, which seems to work, but instead |
| 5 |
the problem to actually mount an existing file system as read-only. |
| 6 |
For Mac OSX seems to work only the was to eiter direct mount from CD, or to |
| 7 |
mount a disk image (.dmg). |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
The missing link seems to be a "Null file system" (nullfs), which allows to |
| 10 |
mount a folder into another folder. Nullfs seem to exist on other systems, |
| 11 |
like FreeBSD, but not on Darwin (or at least it is not build and deployed). |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
There seem to be some ideas in regards to being able to use a nullfs as a |
| 14 |
Darwin kernel extension (.kext), but these ideas don't seem to be finished / |
| 15 |
buggy. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
Sorry, doesn't seem to work that way. |

Regards |
