Nice :)
Do you also have any plans to improve the tools?

While you are fixing the README:
1. Above should read 'build and install' like the rest of the sections
2. Please refrain from the use of letter case OverlayFS - it is
inconsistent with the rest of fstests
3. This reads as if installing overlayfs-tools is a prerequisite for
testing overlayfs, which is not true. In fact, in most likelihood,
there are very few people that run fstests with fsck.overlay,
so it would be more accurate to say:
For fsck.overlay [optional], build and install:
4. Because fsck.overlay is not mandatory and because it is
not distro specific, I think this instruction should be moved
to README.overlay.
Note that the instructions to install unionmount testsuite
are in README.overlay and while they are also not mandatory
fo testing overlayfs, they likely add much more test coverage then
fsck.overlay does, so no reason to promote installing fsck.overlay
more than installing unionmount
Thanks,
Amir.
