Well I just gave it a shot
replaced the two calls to castfs with unionfs:
unionfs -o cow ${STAGE_DIRECTORY}/TRANSL=RW:/=RO ${STAGE_DIRECTORY}/MOUNT

And one before for the test mount. That's all the changes I made and I
am able to cast using unionfs. It has a problem with gather docs and it
doesn't ignore some files/paths but I'll work on that - or am as soon as
I iron out some details with lynxlynxlynx.

If nothing else atleast it'll be another option for staging. And this
one not reliant on someone from Source Mage to maintain and support.

As to the root mounts not support it's meant for the mount point being /
But that is also fixed in their repository.

Regards
