Al,
Please pull from
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mszeredi/vfs.git overlayfs-next
This adds support for multiple read-only layers to overlayfs. It also makes the
writable upper layer optional.
This is a highly requested feature and has been in -next for the last cycle.
Thanks,
Miklos
