[Bug 1523000] [NEW] writing files larger than 2GB to overlayfs fails

 

Public bug reported:

There's simply a missing flag, which was fixed here:
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git/commit/?id=0480334

The patch claims it requires kernel 3.18+, but the overlayfs code in
ubuntu's 3.16 kernel is already backported from later kernel revs.

** Affects: linux-lts-utopic (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New
