linux - 如何提供嵌套的overlayfs挂载

Question

我尝试将 overlayfs 的层挂载为下一层 overlayfs，但在两层之后它崩溃了

mount -t overlayfs -o rw,lowerdir=/tmp/test/layers/centos5.6-layer0-lower,upperdir=/tmp/test/layers/centos5.6-layer0-upper overlayfs /tmp/mount/centos5.6-layer0-mount
# remove deleted files into overlayfs
find /tmp/mount/centos5.6-layer0-mount -lname '(overlay-whiteout)' -exec rm -rf {} \;

mount -t overlayfs -o rw,lowerdir=/tmp/mount/centos5.6-layer0-mount,upperdir=/tmp/test/layers/centos5.6-layer1-upper overlayfs /tmp/mount/centos5.6-layer1-mount
# remove deleted files into overlayfs
find /tmp/mount/centos5.6-layer1-mount -lname '(overlay-whiteout)' -exec rm -rf {} \;

mount -t overlayfs -o rw,lowerdir=/tmp/mount/centos5.6-layer1-mount,upperdir=/tmp/test/layers/centos5.6-layer2-upper overlayfs /tmp/mount/centos5.6-layer2-mount
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on overlayfs,
       missing codepage or helper program, or other error
       (for several filesystems (e.g. nfs, cifs) you might
       need a /sbin/mount.<type> helper program)
       In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
       dmesg | tail  or so
# remove deleted files into overlayfs
find /tmp/mount/centos5.6-layer2-mount -lname '(overlay-whiteout)' -exec rm -rf {} \;

mount -t overlayfs -o rw,lowerdir=/tmp/mount/centos5.6-layer2-mount,upperdir=/tmp/test/layers/centos5.6-layer3-upper overlayfs /tmp/mount/centos5.6-layer3-mount
find /tmp/mount/centos5.6-layer3-mount -lname '(overlay-whiteout)' -exec rm -rf {} \;

如何提供超过 2 层？

Answer 1

如果您检查 dmesg 输出，您将看到内核声明试图超过最大堆叠深度:

overlayfs: maximum fs stacking depth exceeded

确实，堆叠深度限制为2，见overlayfs dev分支:

• #define FILESYSTEM_MAX_STACK_DEPTH
• stacking depth check

如果你想超越这个深度，你可以尝试改变常量并构建你自己的内核。但是，请记住堆栈溢出的风险(根据评论)。
