Summary from irc. The proposed patch does fix the symptoms if the NFS mount is mounted with locking enabled (option 'lock', which is enabled by default and always with nfsv4).
However, live-boot mounts the nfs with "-o nolock" (and on our site with nfsv3, which can be forced with the mount option "-o vers=3") to not require a locking daemon. In this scenario, the symptom persists. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1039402 Title: [quantal] overlayfs over r/o NFS mount fails to overwrite existing files To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1039402/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
