Comment 42 for bug 882147

@Mike Mestnik: To be true, i have a record that shows that i'm not the nicest and most patient living person in the world - but you should look at the bigger picture. I've used aufs for ISOs long term - with the latest development in debian aufs does more harm than good - so the logical switch is to overlayfs. And the overlay should give feedback about changed files the same way as the most other filesystems do - i think thats called the principle of least surprise.

@Li Jianguo (byjgli): thanks for the patch, does what it should so far, i should have a closer look at it, apply to a 3.18 Kernel without problems, quilt refresh does its work. So far it works good with both tail and Qt 5.3.2 too - big thanks, that save me days.
