overlay4u Description
overlay4u is a Python module that provides a simple way to create an overlayfs in Ubuntu within Python.Warnings!overlay4u requires root. Be sure you're aware of that. It's still very much a work in progress so please use with caution and hopefully on VM that you do not care about.Caveatsoverlay4u is not currently being designed for anything but Ubuntu 12.04. At this time that's the first priority.Currently Working- Mounting works! (Tested and works)- Creating a table of mounted filesystems- UnmountingPossible interface examplesCreate an overlay at dest:import overlay4uoverlay = overlay4u.mount('dest', 'lower', 'upper')overlay.unmount()If the destination already has something mounted it won't mount again:import overlay4uoverlay1 = overlay4u.mount('dest', 'lower', 'upper')# This will throw an error.overlay2 = overlay4u.mount('dest', 'lower', 'upper')That's all. It's a relatively simple tool.Product's homepage
