[Unionfs] Using UnionFS on many many filesystems

[Fabian, Andy]

Are there any hard limits on the number of filesystems that can be
joined concurrently into a single UnionFS filesystem?  Are there any
performance characteristics that drop more than linearly as the number
of source filesystems increase?

 

I'm thinking of using UnionFS in a backup system, to join potentially
hundreds of incremental backups together.  Is there any reason this
shouldn't work?

 

Thanks,
