Actually it seems to have changed in Linux 4.12 and the uptsream documentation at https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/filesystems/overlayfs.txt now also says this: | In the special case of all overlay layers on the same underlying | filesystem, all objects will report an st_dev from the overlay | filesystem and st_ino from the underlying filesystem. This will | make the overlay mount more compliant with filesystem scanners and | overlay objects will be distinguishable from the corresponding | objects in the original filesystem. That said this bug is still rather annoying and I would like to see it fixed, so I created a pull request upstream: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/6656 Cheers, -- Raphaël Hertzog ◈ Debian Developer Support Debian LTS: https://www.freexian.com/services/debian-lts.html Learn to master Debian: https://debian-handbook.info/get/ _______________________________________________ Pkg-systemd-maintainers mailing list Pkg-systemd-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-systemd-maintainers
