@brad-figg no logs are needed to diagnose this problem. Module name has
been like this since kernel 3.0+

I am investigating if this change is possible/desired in Ubuntu 14 LTS.

** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu)
       Status: Incomplete => Confirmed

Title:
  Rename 'overlayfs' module as per upstream name 'overlay'

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Module has been renamed upstream:
  https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=ef94b1864d1ed5be54376404bb23d22ed0481feb

  The reason is that some distros might want to keep 2 modules,
  'overlay' and 'overlayfs'.

  However this is not the case for the kernel shipped by Ubuntu; would
  it be possible to support the new module name?
