[Solved] Can't use unionfs - 'unknown filesystem type'

According to the wiki, unionfs is part of the Arch kernel, but when I try to use it, I get an error message:

root@kat ~ # mount -t unionfs -o dirs=/tmp/test1:/tmp/test2 none /mnt
mount: unknown filesystem type 'unionfs'

It's also not in /proc/filesystems or /usr/lib/modules/4.10.8-1-ARCH/kernel/fs. Is there a module I have to manually load or is the module not called unionfs?

Re: [Solved] Can't use unionfs - 'unknown filesystem type'

OK, I'n stupid. It's not in the kernel, I just thought it was because it worked on my other machine - but on those I had the relevant package - unionfs-fuse - installed ... Marking as solved.

The wiki is still wrong, though. Guess I'll go and fix that.
