overlayfs + linux user namespace issue

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

 



Hello;

I found that writing to overlayfs mount may be denied to a process
with own user namespace and uid=0 inside that namespace, unless I
explicitly chown lower-work/work directory to a parent namespace uid
corresponding to that user namespace uid 0.

The test case might be found at
https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/229782/overlayfs-doesnt-work-with-unprivileged-user-namespace

Tried with debian's 4.1.6 and 4.2-trunk.

Could someone please clarify if this is a bug or a feature, and if
this might be changed in future?

Thank you!

Regards,
