** This bug has been marked a duplicate of bug 1718761 It's not possible to use OverlayFS (mount -t overlay) to stack directories on a ZFS volume -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1873917 Title: zfs not supported as upperdir or workdir for overlay mount Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: zfs cannot be used as a filesystem for an overlay mount's 'upperdir' or 'workdir' arguement. If you have zfs root, or are inside an lxd that uses zfs then you'll not be able to use overlay mounts without working around this bug. It can be worked around by using a tmpfs. $ ./test-overlay container=lxc $ lsb_release -sc focal $ uname -r 5.4.0-25-generic $ id uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root) $ df --print-type /tmp/test-dir/mp Filesystem Type 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on default/containers/f2 zfs 14655872 523648 14132224 4% / $ mount -t tmpfs tmpfs /tmp/test-dir/up $ mount -t overlay -o lowerdir=/etc,upperdir=/tmp/test-dir/up,workdir=/tmp/test-dir/wk overlay /tmp/test-dir/mp mount: /tmp/test-dir/mp: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on overlay, missing codepage or helper program, or other error.
