Overlayfs does not allow mounting over again with the same layers until umount is fully completed, so is not appropriate for this test which tries to mount in parallel to umount. This is manifested as the test failure below when overlayfs strict mount checks are enabled by enabling the index feature: $ echo Y > /sys/module/overlay/parameters/index ... +mount: /vdf/ovl-mnt: /vdf already mounted or mount point busy. + dmesg(1) may have more information after failed mount system call. +mount /vdf /vdf/ovl-mnt failed Opt-out of this test with overlayfs and remove the hacks that were placed by commit 06cee932 ("generic/604: Fix for overlayfs") to make the test pass with overlayfs in the first place.
