Thank you for the link to your patchset Jordi. I've compared the patches and don't see any difference except I apply #9 (stacking depth) and don't apply your extra patches (50,51,52). Quite possibly what causes problems on my kernel and not yours is a different configuration. What kernel versions on the 3.5 tree have you tried overlayfs with? It would be great to have Miklos Szeredi take a look at the OOPS in the referenced thread (http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1349785) and weigh in. I would like to use overlayfs again but an FS-level oops is a risk I am unwilling to take. Here's the patchset I used: http://www.filebox.com/5b7pwbwkirrq. ~ Andy
