Hello, I'm using Archlinux and I would like to convert my existing installation to a compressed, rewritable one, and I'm planning to use squashfs and unionfs. Now I got wind that there is only unionfs-fuse available for arch, which as it's name says is based on FUSE as in user level unionfs, which in turn means severe performance loss. At a time where I didn't care much about compressed FS, there used to be plain unionfs, which worked directly from/with the kernel without losing much performance. Where has it disappeared to? Can I still get the kernel version somewhere? I'm interested in Unionfs because it's (allegedly) much easier to set up than aufs. Also, I would like to hear some opinions why or why not I should use aufs over unionfs, and what are the general benefits between using aufs, unionfs and just using a casper file. Thands ahead!
PS: I happened to find unionfs-tools (orphaned) in AUR. It kind of boggles my mind though that arch would switch to something so counterefficient performance wise. The other questions still apply.
