 I made a patch which extends pam_namespace to add unionfs support (via
 aufs). This makes it possible to provide a private version of a directory
 that is writeable for the user. Configuration is simple: all you need to
 do is add a “unionfs” option in namespace.conf.   In my test system the
 entry looks like this:

 {{{
 $HOME /private/home/ tmpfs:union,mntopts=size=128m root
 }}}

 With this line pam_namespace does the following:

 when using tmpfs with the union option or a different method an instance
 directory is created
 when using the union option the bind mount is replaced with an aufs mount
 which adds the instance directory as a branch on top of the
 polyinstantiated directory
