Hmm. I found 2 other instances of _fs_type in common/rc.
I think it would be safer to let _fs_type return "overlay" in
case the mounted fs is of type $OVL_FSTYP.
This will be simple to do by extending the sed expression -
no need for special cases and conditions.

Other than that, patch looks good.

Thanks,
Amir.
