Description : OverlayFS is the union filesystem provided by Linux kernel.
:
: This program comes provides three tools:
:
: * vacuum - remove duplicated files in upperdir where copy_up is done but the
: file is not actually modified (see the sentence "the copy_up may turn out to
: be unnecessary" in the Linux documentation). This may reduce the size of
: upperdir without changing lowerdir or overlay.
: * diff - show the list of actually changed files (the difference between overlay
: and lowerdir). A file with its type changed (i.e. from symbolic link to
: regular file) will shown as deleted then added, rather than modified.
: Similarly, for a opaque directory in upperdir, the corresponding directory in
: lowerdir (if exists) will be shown as entirely deleted, and a new directory
: with the same name added. File permission/owner changes will be simply shown
: as modified.
: * merge - merge down the changes from upperdir to lowerdir. Unlike aubrsync for
: AuFS which bypasses the union filesystem mechanism, overlayfs-utils emulates
: the OverlayFS logic, which will be far more efficient. After this operation,
: upperdir will be empty and lowerdir will be the same as original overlay.
: * deref - copy changes from upperdir to uppernew while unfolding redirect
: directories and metacopy regular files, so that new upperdir is compatible
: with legacy overlayfs driver.
:
: For safety reasons, vacuum and merge will not actually modify the filesystem,
: but generate a shell script to do the changes instead.
