Description: Filesystem translucency module - module source
 The translucency module adds a new feature to the Linux kernel:
 translucency between two filesystem directories. All changes on files
 in the working directory are in reality stored in the another location.
 This way you can have a working filesystem which becomes separated into
 a (read-only) persistent directory and a modifications directory on the
 harddisk.
 .
 Similar concepts are known as inheriting (ifs), stacking 
 (bind mount, fist), translucency (tfs), loopback (lofs), overlay
 (ovlfs) and BSD's union file system.
 .
 This package provides documentation and source code for the
 translucency kernel module for Linux kernel 2.4. Kernel source or
 kernel headers are required to compile this module and you can use
 module-assistant to build and install it as a Debian package.
