Thank you, Erez. However we needed Unionfs 1.0. :)

The thing is that we're creating OpenVZ (openvz.org) LiveCD, that will
able to boot from several kernels: 2.6.9, 2.6.18 and 2.6.20. The LiveCD
uses unionctl tool and it works great for 2.6.9/2.6.18 kernels, because
we use unionfs 1.0 for these kernels. But unionfs 2.0, that is only
available for 2.6.20 kernel, doesn't support ioctls that unionctl
produces. :)

Well, I guess you will not do the 1.0 port to 2.6.20 only for us, so
I'll try to find some reasonable workarond. :)

Thank you anyway,
Vasily
