What is OverlayFS? edit
Unfortunately this article.does not yet answer the question what is overlays fs. It should probably also answer "why". Please do try to fix this article if you can. -- 31.216.238.250 (talk) 19:57, 16 December 2014 (UTC)
how does it work? edit
A description of how it works would be nice. For example, how inodes are used: if a file in lower layers is changed, does the change become visible in the upper layers? (it sees not?? because the inode changed???) misc non-obvious semantics ... 67.198.37.16 (talk) 00:49, 4 June 2015 (UTC)
- I wrote a descriptive blog post (Explaining OverlayFS) about this topic, if that would be helpful. --Thomcat (talk) 20:39, 11 September 2018 (UTC)
