Hi Amir,
I think I tested both xfs/ext4. Let me have a look at the code for detail.
Thanks,

Run syncfs and shutdown filesystem(or underlying filesystem of overlayfs)

Hi Chengguang,
I just noticed that this test (now generic/474) is skipped for overlay over ext4
for a strange looking reason - it seems that in the overlay_mount() call from
_scratch_cycle_mount() the function hits
_notrun "upper fs needs to support d_type".
This doesn't happen on my test system with overlay over xfs.
Did you happen to test this with overlay over ext4 at the time?
Will you have time to look into this?
Thanks,
Amir.
