Hi Jeff,
I understand the idea behind patch [1] but it breaks the operation of overlayfs
with cephfs. Should the patch be abandoned and tests be modified or should
overlayfs code be adapted to work with cephfs, if that's possible?

Yes, you'd have to apply the patch to that kernel yourself. No RHEL7

kernels via "Elrepo". I would seriously consider doing so. Even
sticking with an LTS kernel, you can still get much newer kernels (up
to 5.4.75). (https://www.kern
I feel lucky to have you on this one. ;-) Do you mean applying a
specific patch on 3.10 kernel? Or is this one too old to have it working
anyways.

Luis,
I gave RHEL 8 and kernel 4.18 a try and it's working perfectly! \o/
Same commands, same mount options. Does anyone know why and if there's
any chances I can have this working with CentOS/RHEL 7 and 3.10 kernel?
Best regards,
Frédéric.
