Be careful with overlay, I've seen it acting in a ways you don't want it to act up. That was some time ago, but memories persist. To my experience best option is btrfs. If you don't want to repartition disk, btrfs on loopback isn't horrible too. deviemapper on loopback is horrible, but that's different.
