Instead Unionfs should handle it more gracefully than an oops. Now, a lot of this "scare" in the past couple of days had been the result of our documentation, which was intended to prevent people from mucking with the lower f/s. As Jeff said already yesterday, many of the possible oopses were already fixed, and you'll be hard pressed right now to be able to tickle more oopses. But, to be sure, we'll run more tests, and fix whatever else we can.
