You just have to remember to pay attention to race conditions - if you create foo/bar.dat on the dest and then rsync wants to copy over a foo/bar.tar from the source, things will go poorly. However, if you wanted to write to the dest while doing your sync, you'll have that issue no matter *what* method you use to do it. >> Read operations: >> 1. See if data is already on dest fs, >> 2.

(Note there's several different patchsets calling themselves 'unionfs').
