Matthew Dillon 2a31267e43 This is a major fixup of unionfs. At least 30 serious bugs have been
fixed (many due to changing semantics in other parts of the kernel and not
    the original author's fault), including one critical one: unionfs could
    cause UFS corruption in the fronting store due to calling VOP_OPEN for
    writing without turning on vmio for the UFS vnode.

    Most of the bugs were related to semantics changes in VOP calls, lock
    ordering problems (causing deadlocks), improper handling of a read-only
    backing store (such as an NFS mount), improper referencing and locking
    of vnodes, not using real struct locks for vnode locking, not using
    recursive locks when accessing the fronting store, and things like that.

    New functionality has been added:  unionfs now has mmap() support, but
    only partially tested, and rename has been enhanced considerably.

    There are still some things that unionfs cannot do.   You cannot
    rename a directory without confusing unionfs, and there are issues
    with softlinks, hardlinks, and special files.  unionfs mostly doesn't
    understand them (and never did).

    There are probably still panic situations, but hopefully no where near
    as many as before this commit.

    The unionfs in this commit has been tested overlayed on /usr/src
    (backing /usr/src being a read-only NFS mount, fronting /usr/src being
    a local filesystem).  kernel builds have been tested, buildworld is
    undergoing testing.  More testing is necessary.

was last revised on:
$FreeBSD$

For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this
directory (additional copyright information also exists for some
sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for
more information).

The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for
building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree, the most
commonly used one being ``world'', which rebuilds and installs
everything in the FreeBSD system from the source tree except the
kernel and the contents of /etc.  Please see the top of the Makefile
in this directory for more information on the standard build targets
and compile-time flags.

Building a kernel with config(8) is a somewhat more involved process,
documentation for which can be found at:
   http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/kernelconfig.html
And in the config(8) man page.

The sample kernel configuration files reside in the sys/i386/conf
sub-directory (assuming that you've installed the kernel sources), the
file named GENERIC being the one used to build your initial installation
kernel.  The file LINT contains entries for all possible devices, not
just those commonly used, and is meant more as a general reference
than an actual kernel configuration file (a kernel built from it
wouldn't even run).
