This means that any present or future submounts are ignored and the mount containting those directories may be moved or umounted and overlayfs will still function. None of the bind mounts above will have any effect on an overlayfs that uses /lower[12] and /upper. > If crossing mount boundaries is forbidden try with symlinks or hardlinks.
