* Remove email address from Documentation/filesystems/overlayfs.txtNeilBrown2015-11-111-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | I'm getting a surprising large number of questions about overlayfs sent to me personally, rather than to a relevant mailing list. So remove my email address from the documentation, and add a note about looking in the MAINTAINERS file. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.com> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>

* ovl: support multiple lower layersMiklos Szeredi2014-12-131-0/+12
| | | | | | | | Allow "lowerdir=" option to contain multiple lower directories separated by a colon (e.g. "lowerdir=/bin:/usr/bin"). Colon characters in filenames can be escaped with a backslash. Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@suse.cz>
* ovl: rename filesystem type to "overlay"Miklos Szeredi2014-11-201-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some distributions carry an "old" format of overlayfs while mainline has a "new" format. The distros will possibly want to keep the old overlayfs alongside the new for compatibility reasons. To make it possible to differentiate the two versions change the name of the new one from "overlayfs" to "overlay".
