I did some further testing of overlayfs using it to boot a live filesystem, which was unsuccessful overall. I found a couple of issues thrown up by using squashfs as the underlying layer. Following this email are a couple of fixes I used to get much closer. Also, do you have a rebased version of this code for v2.6.37-rc2? I had a quick run at it and ended up messing it up (panics on boot). -apw Andy Whitcroft (2): overlayfs: handle missing lower inodes in ovl_is_same_inode overlayfs: ovl_copy_up_xattr -- handle EOPNOTSUPP from vfs_listxattr fs/overlayfs/overlayfs.c | 27 ++++++++++++++++++--------- 1 files changed, 18 insertions(+), 9 deletions(-) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
