Joseph, Any one running any kernel can test for this bug. Let me write a short shell script that will do just that. I've tested this script on my box and it revealed the bug.
( set -e mkdir -p /mnt/test /tmp/usr mount none /mnt/test -t overlayfs -o lowerdir=/usr,upperdir=/tmp/usr /mnt/test/bin/tail -f /dev/null& ls -lart /proc/$!/exe kill $! umount /mnt/test rmdir /mnt/test /tmp/usr ) # If a red broken link to/bin/tail is printed then the bug exists. If the link points to /mnt/test/bin/tail then there is no bug in the currently running kernel. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1007089 Title: overlayfs alters /proc/self/exe link(s), making result a dead link.
