So my opinion is that this use case (modifying or even completely swapping out the lower layer while it is not mounted) should work perfectly fine with a "plain" configuration. Doing this with redirect_dir, metacopy or index does sound somewhat scary and some of that obviously won't even work because of the broken origins. Thanks, Miklos
