An overlay filesystem combines two filesystems - an 'upper' filesystem
|
||
|
and a 'lower' filesystem. When a name exists in both filesystems, the
|
||
|
object in the 'upper' filesystem is visible while the object in the
|
||
|
'lower' filesystem is either hidden or, in the case of directories,
|
||
|
merged with the 'upper' object.

help
|
||
|
If this config option is enabled then overlay filesystems will use
|
||
|
redirects when renaming directories by default. In this case it is
|
||
|
still possible to turn off redirects globally with the
|
||
|
"redirect_dir=off" module option or on a filesystem instance basis
|
||
|
with the "redirect_dir=off" mount option.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Note, that redirects are not backward compatible. That is, mounting
|
||
|
an overlay which has redirects on a kernel that doesn't support this
|
||
|
feature will have unexpected results.
