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.
