1 config OVERLAY_FS
2 tristate "Overlay filesystem support"
3 help
4 An overlay filesystem combines two filesystems - an 'upper' filesystem
5 and a 'lower' filesystem. When a name exists in both filesystems, the
6 object in the 'upper' filesystem is visible while the object in the
7 'lower' filesystem is either hidden or, in the case of directories,
8 merged with the 'upper' object.

12 config OVERLAY_FS_REDIRECT_DIR
13 bool "Overlayfs: turn on redirect dir feature by default"
14 depends on OVERLAY_FS
15 help
16 If this config option is enabled then overlay filesystems will use
17 redirects when renaming directories by default. In this case it is
18 still possible to turn off redirects globally with the
19 "redirect_dir=off" module option or on a filesystem instance basis
20 with the "redirect_dir=off" mount option.

22 Note, that redirects are not backward compatible. That is, mounting
23 an overlay which has redirects on a kernel that doesn't support this
24 feature will have unexpected results.
