Public bug reported: Hi
When you mount an overlayfs in an overlayfs, you get really issues about files not being found on the lower overlayfs However a fix for this appears to have been merged into the kernel in master https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/c4fcfc1619ea43a8a89ad2f83ff23905eee088bd In https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/c4fcfc1619ea43a8a89ad2f83ff23905eee088bd there is a simple script to replicate this issue, where currently, it returns "No such device or address" Is there any chance that this fix can be backported into Ubuntu's kernel? but there also says something about 4.8 in the commit log, does that mean that it is going to be backported to 4.8?
