Anyway, I finally got past all the hype and did an init script-style setup that has my /usr/local arranged via fuse-overlayfs.

I have a feeling this results in practically no performance loss. If the fuse version of overlay fs is like the kernel version, then once the file is opened it is NATIVE filesystem operations rather than operations done through the ‘wrapper’ filesystem, as with other ‘union’ filesystems.

I had kernel panics galore with the kernel version.
