2014-12-13ovl: support multiple lower layersMiklos Szeredi
Allow "lowerdir=" option to contain multiple lower directories separated by a colon (e.g. "lowerdir=/bin:/usr/bin"). Colon characters in filenames can be escaped with a backslash. Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@suse.cz>
2014-11-20ovl: rename filesystem type to "overlay"Miklos Szeredi
Some distributions carry an "old" format of overlayfs while mainline has a "new" format. The distros will possibly want to keep the old overlayfs alongside the new for compatibility reasons. To make it possible to differentiate the two versions change the name of the new one from "overlayfs" to "overlay".
