Multiple lower layers
|
||||
---------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Multiple lower layers can now be given using the the colon (":") as a
|
||||
separator character between the directory names. For example:
|
||||
|
||||
mount -t overlay overlay -olowerdir=/lower1:/lower2:/lower3 /merged
|
||||
|
||||
As the example shows, "upperdir=" and "workdir=" may be omitted. In
|
||||
that case the overlay will be read-only.
|
||||
|
||||
The specified lower directories will be stacked beginning from the
|
||||
rightmost one and going left. In the above example lower1 will be the
|
||||
top, lower2 the middle and lower3 the bottom layer.
