Thanks!

I read somewhere on a redhat list that there are serious problems with overlayfs and linux-3.7. It seems that they currently switched back to aufs. |

Thanks, I was not aware of this. So it seems development of overlayfs has moved from git.kernel.org to ubuntu.com. This might be bad sign for inclusion into the main kernel. |

Development hasn't moved. It's just that I know Ubuntu uses overlayfs, so I checked there if they might have already updated it for 3.7 |

Thanks! I tested the patches from the ubuntu git tree. They seem to be working so far.

So…
and
Code: | USE="mageia" emerge sys-kernel/geek-sources |
or
Code: | USE="suse" emerge sys-kernel/geek-sources |
or
Code: | USE="mageia suse" emerge sys-kernel/geek-sources |

Since the only "working" implementation for overlayfs seems to be from ubuntu, currently, here is a heads up:
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/3.7.0-2.8 wrote: | Revert "overlayfs: disable until FTBS is fixed" |
This is the same error which I recall to have seen for RedHat. |
