OverlayFS Linux kernel patches ============================== Note, I am NOT a developer for the OverlayFS at all. But I desire to use OverlayFS and required kernel patches to apply to my kernel sources. The official OverlayFS sources are at http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/mszeredi/vfs.git/ I was unable to find any patches to apply OverlayFS to an existing kernel source tree. It appears that OverlayFS is developed as branches in a git repo of the entire Linux kernel source tree. I extracted patches for each of the OverlayFS versions as per this procedure. http://adis.ca/entry/2014/overlayfs-patch/ Linux 3.12-rc2 overlayfs.v20 Linux 3.11-rc2 overlayfs.v19 Linux 3.10-rc7 overlayfs.v18 Linux 3.9-rc2 overlayfs.v17 Linux 3.9-rc2 overlayfs.v16 Linux 3.6-rc4 overlayfs.v15 Linux 3.6-rc1 overlayfs.v14 Linux 3.4-rc7 overlayfs.v13 I was unable to create patches for overlayfs.v11 and overlayfs.v12.
