Hi Jeff, I understand the idea behind patch [1] but it breaks the operation of overlayfs with cephfs. Should the patch be abandoned and tests be modified or should overlayfs code be adapted to work with cephfs, if that's possible?
Either way, it'd be nice if overlayfs could work again with cephfs out of the box without requiring users to patch and build their own kernels past 5.4+. Regards, Frédéric.
