Optional switching off cow in overlayfs

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi there!
I was wondering about a small improvement to overlayfs - optional, per file copy of write.

1. By default overlayfs would work as usual.
2. If a file in 'lower' filesystem has an xattr set (e.g. trusted.overlay.cow=n) the file would not be copied.

What do you think?

Cheers,
Jan
