Years ago we tried this, but with UnionFS, and it would not work.
But FUSE is much more capable, so I`m not surprised if it does work.

dejan555 I am a frugal install guy but if your wishes would work for us too then I support your suggestion that this would be a good way to get freedom to have a modular approach.

It doesn't have to be for full installs only, it can be used in frugal too if you want on fly mounting without rebooting system, but seems like it conflicts with puppy's fs layering. Some puplets with aufs are capable to do this with modified init at least according to rexterd. But no go with union atm. There's also some sfs linker pet that uses alternative approach of sfs mounting by creating symlinks. Haven't tried it thought, may be good.

jrb`s sfs-linker doesn`t use the union, so it doesn`t have those problems.
it "attaches" the sfs by mounting it, but never unions it.
