From ef94b1864d1ed5be54376404bb23d22ed0481feb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Miklos Szeredi Date: Thu, 20 Nov 2014 16:39:59 +0100 Subject: ovl: rename filesystem type to "overlay" Some distributions carry an "old" format of overlayfs while mainline has a "new" format. The distros will possibly want to keep the old overlayfs alongside the new for compatibility reasons. To make it possible to differentiate the two versions change the name of the new one from "overlayfs" to "overlay".
