I found out that the overlayfs version in Ubuntu doesn't support workdir
option, thus it's not the same thing as upstream 'overlay'.

Closing.

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

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

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?
