Hello,
I'm testing overlayfs in kernel 3.18-rc2 because I hoped to be able to
replace aufs and would be able to return to mainline kernels in future.
overlayfs documentation states, that NFS is unsupported in "upper
filesystem", but I do not manage to make it work with a ro NFS lowerdir as
well. All I get is:
overlayfs: filesystem of lowerdir is not supported
This is what I try:
mount -t overlayfs -olowerdir=/etc,upperdir=/local/etc,workdir=/local/ovldir
overlayfs /mnt
/local is tmpfs in this case.
If this is _not_ supposed to work I would strongly suggest, to clarify NFS
support in Documentation/filesystems/overlayfs.txt
Regards
Sven
