What you need to do is cycle mount the overlay without cycle mounting the base fs. You could do something like this: local unmounted ... overlay) if [ "$OVL_BASE_FSTYP" = tmpfs ]; then $UMOUNT_PROG $SCRATCH_MNT unmounted=true fi ;; esac ... [ "$unmounted" = true ] || _scratch_unmount _try_scratch_mount "$opts" || _fail "cycle mount failed" } There are some overlay tests that open code this pattern like overlay/077: # Remove the lower directory and mount overlay again to create # a "former merge dir" $UMOUNT_PROG $SCRATCH_MNT rm -rf $lowerdir/former _scratch_mount So _scratch_mount is expected to work just fine when base fs is already mounted assuming that _check_mounted_on works correctly with tmpfs.
