The new command (adjusted to my environment and from within the rescue-shell and all within a single line) was: # mount -t overlayfs overlayfs -o lowerdir=/mnt/root_ro,upperdir=/mnt/root_rw,workdir=/mnt/root_rw/.work /mnt/root The new error message from dmesg now reads: [ 1369.069178] overlayfs: workdir and upperdir must be separate subtrees Thanks Klaus -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-unionfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
