Hi, first of all, I'd like to thank all the developpers doing a great job in bringing ubuntu to mobile devices. I'm a more or less first hour owner of an Aquaris E4.5 and I'm pretty happy with it. Since I've got Xmir running in order to use pidgin, I'm suffering from the small size of the root partition. To remedy this, I've created a file with a ext4 file system on the external sd and use this to install a touch system there into which I chroot. This works more or less. I recently came across some articles describing the use of overlayfs respectively unionfs. This brought me to the idea that this might be a way to extend the root partition and to play with the system without having to make the root partition read/writeable. However, I could not find any of these file systems to be available in touch. Having some experience with compiling kernels, I tried to figure out whether these are available in the kernel sources, but either I was not able to find them or they are just not there. So, after this pretty long introduction, a short question: is overlayfs or unionfs available in touch and if not, could it be brought into the kernel and what would have to be done for this?
