Not really. The main problem is knowing which file to be filtered out. You would need to supply a list of files to exclude, which would unnecessarily complicate unionmount IMHO. A cleaner solution would be to first mount a hypothetical ``filterfs'' that removes the files, and then do a unionmount on top of that. Also you could just simply set a lib.so.1 -> lib.so.3 symlink in the mountee, which would shadow the underlying lib.so.1. Regards, Fredrik
