The name "xino" is really confusing to me. I know what aufs xino is, and also understand what problem overlayfs wants to solve. For those who knows these two points, - the same name with totaly different implementation - very similar option usage is very bad. I never say that "xino" name is patented and only aufs can use it, but I'd ask you to change the name to help (future) users from confusing. J. R. Okajima
