Hi, Thanks for the report and the testcase. Here's a patch using a different approach (overlayfs philosophy is to minimize VFS footprint). Thanks, Miklos --- From: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: ovl: get_write_access() in truncate When truncating a file we should check write access on the underlying inode. And we should do so on the lower file as well (before copy-up) for consistency.
