[ cc Daniel Walsh] Hi Miklos, Can you elaborate a bit more on what docker/container-storoage and do here to expedite image generation with redirect_dir/metacopy enabled. They can't pack these xattrs in image because image will not be portable. It will be overlayfs specific and can't be made to work on target without overlayfs. Thanks Vivek
