Subject: [PATCH v2 0/2] overlayfs: Handle metacopy mount option better
Date: Tue, 30 Oct 2018 16:26:40 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20181030202642.5025-1-vgoyal@redhat.com> (raw)
This is V2 of the patch I had posted. Right now if user passes
metacopy=on and if redirect_dir=on is not specified, metacopy is
disabled automatically and a messages is sent to console/logs.
This might be little surprising for user. A better behavior probably
is to return an error if metacopy can't be enabled. Two patches
in the series take care of that.
Vivek Goyal (2):
overlayfs: Return error if metadata only copy-up can't be enabled
overlayfs: Enable redirect_dir automatically if metacopy=on needs it
