Subject: use scenario for overlay FS
Date: Mon, 20 Apr 2015 16:55:11 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <553567AF.20205@lge.com> (raw)

Hi Neil,

Regarding the overlayfs implementation, I am interested in overlaying 
two squashfs file systems, read-only, and running into a problem with 
location of the work directory:

   "overlayfs: workdir and upperdir must reside under the same mount"

Since the upper directory is read-only, and it is mounted on a partition 
as such, having writable work directory is not possible. Any suggestions 
on how to utilize overlayfs in this scenario?

I feel this restriction is overkill for the feature.

Thanks,
Iyad
