Andy, have you published them somewhere? Any amount of inotify support in overlayfs, even with limitations, will greatly improve ubuntu live cd session with&without persistence.

Why bother with inotify: it's cheap, when the alternative of constantly polling is expensive w.r.t. system resources and hence not used.
