Hello Thomas and Team,

This is just a reminder, that the latest dracut debian package (057+157-4)
has both overlay-root and overlayfs dracut modules included in the package.
Thanks for pulling in all those changes from upstream.

I hope this is an opportunity to compare the two dracut modules and
perhaps start making steps on obsoleting the overlay-root dracut module,
which is debian specific and make more use of the overlayfs module which
are maintained (https://github.com/dracutdevs/dracut/pull/1934) and tested
upstream. As an example the Fedora live iso image is using the overlayfs
dracut module.

The overlayfs dracut module is specifically tested together with NFS as
well -
https://github.com/dracutdevs/dracut/blob/master/test/TEST-20-NFS/test.sh#L178

I expect there might be some differences between the two dracut modules, I
am here to learn about them and see what would be the next logical step.

Thanks,
  Laszlo
