Using my example:
mkdir a echo "a/x" > a/x echo "a/y" > a/y echo "a/z" > a/z
mkdir b echo "b/y" > b/y
mkdir c echo "c/z" > c/z
mkdir d mount --bind a d mount --bind --overlay b d mount --bind --overlay c d
cat d/x "a/x"
cat d/y "b/y"
cat d/z "c/z"
Then...
echo "d/w" > d/w would create a new file in directory a. echo "d/y" > d/y would replace the file b/y etc...
Is this sort of thing possible, or are there fundamental reasons that would make it difficult?
