Subject: Multiple lower layers - presedence?
Date: Mon, 05 Jan 2015 02:00:53 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1997646.dsfVWM3xr5@debian-desktop-mine> (raw)

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 631 bytes --]

The current documentation states the following:

Multiple lower layers
---------------------

Multiple lower layers can now be given using the the colon (":") as a
separator character between the directory names.  For example:

  mount -t overlay overlay -olowerdir=/lower1:/lower2:/lower3 /merged

As the example shows, "upperdir=" and "workdir=" may be omitted.  In that 
case
the overlay will be read-only.

Consider the case /lower1/A and /lower2/A exist.
What is part of the api - that it is undefined or that one takes presedence 
over the other?
It would be nice to have this clarified in the documentation.

Thanks,
Fabian
