http://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1089349 Bug ID: 1089349 Summary: overlayfs does not work with NFS as lower layer Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Tumbleweed Version: Current Hardware: Other OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Kernel Assignee: kernel-maintainers@forge.provo.novell.com Reporter: fvogt@suse.com QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- Created attachment 766955 --> http://bugzilla.suse.com/attachment.cgi?id=766955&action=edit 0001-ovl-Allow-copying-of-files-to-the-upper-layer-from-c.patch When replicating a file/dir from a lower to the upper layer, it tries to copy all xattrs. However, this fails with NFSv4 as it has a special "system.nfs4_acl" xattr" which can't be written if the upper layer isn't NFSv4 (which is not supported anyway). A patch which fixes this issue is attached, but I'm not very familiar with either overlayfs nor xattrs to be able to tell whether it's correct. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
