That's still not very useful !

Are you trying to have a common filesystem image
shared by many DomUs, and use unionfs to allow
each DomU to have it's own modified version ?

Are you hoping to do this in Dom0 and export the filesystem to the DomUs ?
Or are you hoping to export the common filesystem
(readonly) and run unionfs in the DomU ?

Or something different ?
