Well, it's been broken for several years now, an no one has been willing
to commit any resources to get it fixed.

aufs is seen as the best alternative currently, with FreeBSD also

Note: running aufs without kernel threads is a dead end and won't
perform well, you might just as well run with the ufs cache_dir type
then.
