Is it still truth that one can't add d_type to an existing xfs of ftype=0, or is there nowadays some kind of conversion utilities I never heard of (yet) to migrate from ftype=0 to ftype=1?

There are Debian installations on filesystems that are incompatible with overlayfs, for example xfs without d_type. I ran into this while trying to get rid of aufs.

Bug#963191: RFH: aufs
Package: wnpp Severity: normal At the moment aufs is nearly unmaintained since I do not have time due to personal issues. Therefore, I would be happy if there is somebody to co-maintain the package. Open issues are: - Update to current version - Add a version in backports - Support multiple kernel versions at the same time I try to take a look at this problems in the near future but I would be happy about help.
