Public bug reported: 1. I mounted an overlayfs with uppderdir=/a, lowerdir=/b to /c 2. I copied fileA to the upperdir 3a. Did 'ls -l /a' Output is -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22153090041 Jan 11 22:45 fileA 3b. Did 'ls -l /b' Output is empty. 3c. Did 'ls -l /c'. Output is -????????? ? ? ? ? ? fileA 4. Did 'stat /c/fileA', Output is: stat: cannot stat `fileA': No such file or directory
Is overlayfs broken? Did I do something wrong? There is nothing in dmesg. Kernel is 3.5.0-26-generic #42. How can I debug this? I can do fairly advanced specific kernel debugging/recompiling with patches etc, but I don't know where to start. ** Affects: lxc (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Description changed: 1.
