Public bug reported:
On Ubuntu 20.04 with linux-image-5.4.0-30-generic from the Canonical
Kernel Team's proposed PPA, I ran into the following problem with
using a shiftfs 'shifted' ext4 FS mount inside a LXD container.
On the host, I created a file (in emacs) that was in no way special
(single line text file):
🙂 james@malefic:~/projects/ethq/deb$ stat
ethq-0.6.1~git2020517/debian/ethq.install
File: ethq-0.6.1~git2020517/debian/ethq.install

🙂 james@malefic:~/projects/ethq/deb$ stat ethq-0.6.1~git2020517/debian/rules
But in the container, I saw this:
ubuntu@ethq-build:~/ethq/deb/ethq-0.6.1~git2020517$ ls -l debian/
ls: cannot access 'debian/ethq.install': No such file or directory

stat: cannot stat 'debian/ethq.install': No such file or directory
ubuntu@ethq-build:~/ethq/deb/ethq-0.6.1~git2020517$
On a suggestion from Stephane Graber, I tried running:
echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
Which seemed to resolve the problem:
ubuntu@ethq-build:~/ethq/deb/ethq-0.6.1~git2020517$ stat debian/ethq.install
