Title: Add uid shifting overlay filesystem (shiftfs) Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: shiftfs transparently translates the on-disk ids of an underlaying filesystem into valid ids in a given user namespace. This is wanted in Ubuntu for LXD and Anbox and is targeted for inclusion in Disco. The main advantage of shiftfs is that it provides signficiant performance benefits as it lets us avoid recursively chowning the root filesystem for unprivileged containers when they are created or when their idmap is changed. This becomes very important with workloads where we are running a huge number of containers which Anbox and LXD both are currently doing. Other container runtimes will benefit from shiftfs in Ubuntu as well.
