I have been playing with getting overlayfs to work for v3.4, following this email are the patches I am using on top of the stock overlayfs.v12 branch on the v3.4-rc5 base. The first two are yet another revamp of the security permissions patch which I posted a few times (hopefully fixing your remaining comments). The other three are porting issues for the v3.2->v3.4 base. These are also available as below: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/apw/overlayfs.git overlayfs.v12apw1 Thanks to Sedat Dilek for all their testing feedback and Jordi Pojol for his test scripts.
