I was asked to provide some information about how to mount shiftfs, here is an example.
$ mkdir lower mark mnt $ sudo mount -t shiftfs -o mark lower mark $ unshare -Urm # mount -t shiftfs mark mnt mnt will then be a shiftfs mount with ids shifted into the user ns created by unshare. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1884767 Title: shiftfs: fix btrfs regression Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in linux source package in Eoan: Fix Released Status in linux source package in Focal: Fix Committed Bug description: SRU Justification Impact: The patch commit cfaa482afb97e3c05d020af80b897b061109d51f Author: Christian Brauner <christian.brau...@ubuntu.com> Date: Tue Apr 14 22:26:53 2020 +0200 UBUNTU: SAUCE: shiftfs: fix dentry revalidation BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1872757 to fix https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1872757 regresses various btrfs + shiftfs users. Creating a btrfs subvolume, deleting it, and then trying to recreate it will cause EEXIST to be returned. It also leaves some files in a half-visible state because they are not revalidated correctly. Faulty behavior such as this can be reproduced via: btrfs subvolume create my-subvol btrfs subvolume delete my-subvol Fix: We need to revert this patch restoring the old behavior. This will briefly resurface https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1872757 which I will fix in a follow-up patch on top of this revert. We basically split the part that fixes https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1872757 out of the revert. Regression Potential: Limited to shiftfs. Test Case: Build a kernel with fix applied and run above reproducer.
