Apparently tmpfs does not support generic xattr. I understand why
tmpfs is an attractive choice for an upper filesystem, so this should
be addressed.
I see two options here:
1) implement generic xattr in tmpfs
2) take whiteout/opaque support from union mounts and use that
Both have advantages and disadvantages.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Miklos
