If I'm reading that right, then a v1 overlayfs (mounted as "overlayfs") should be using the old-style (symlink) whiteouts, right? Why am I seeing char devices at all? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1410480 Title: 3.18 overlayfs: renaming existing file leaves whiteout visible Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: On a recent vivid livecd, after I rename a file that exists in the lower filesystem, the whiteout entry is visible. root@ubuntu:~# ls -l /etc/fstab -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 63 Jan 13 11:56 /etc/fstab root@ubuntu:~# mv /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.renamed root@ubuntu:~# ls -l /etc/fstab* c--------- 1 root root 0, 0 Jan 13 19:57 /etc/fstab -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 63 Jan 13 11:56 /etc/fstab.renamed root@ubuntu:~# It still happens if I trigger a copy-up first by editing the file. Files that exist only in the upper filesystem (created after booting the livecd) work properly. On utopic, everything works properly. I have not tested a 3.17 kernel.
