Dear Maintainer, I'm experimenting with overlayroot package in the VirtualBox, Debian 9 (4.9.82-1+deb9u3). I was able to make it work for me using this solution: https://yulistic.gitlab.io/2016/05/overlayroot-not-work <goog_969962885>i ng-with-custom-kerne <goog_969962885>l/ <https://yulistic.gitlab.io/2016/05/overlayroot-not-working-with-custom-kernel/> .
As I understand it, main changes to make it work are: - uncomment package definition; - rename: overlayfs -> overlay; - add "workdir" option; I'll try to attach the patch with my changes, but as I've never did it before, I'm not sure it will not be rejected by anti-spam. Also I found that upstream (Ubuntu) repository for this package moved to git and contains quite a lot of changes (more than I have experience to properly deal with). I tried to install package from Ubuntu directly (version 0.40: https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/all/overlayroot/download) and it worked for me with these parameters: `overlayroot="tmpfs:swap=1,recurse=0,debug=1,driver=overlay"`. Probably, it's better to use code from upstream.
