[Unionfs] Question on version: unionfs 1.4 vs unionfs-2.3.3_for_2.6.18.8

[Dave Quigley]

The two code bases are pretty different from eachother. I would suggest
sticking with unionfs 2.3.3. Your other issue is with trying to install
a module compiled against a different kernel into the unionfs one. I
sent you an other email about that asking some questions.
