Hi Joseph,

Due to the headaches introduced by bug 882147 (which effectively
guarantees that tests will fail erroneously), we are changing the
Upstart tests to detect a /tmp overlayfs filesystem and display a
warning. One approach is to make use of OVERLAYFS_SUPER_MAGIC to check
/tmp. See below for the discussion:

overlayfs/+merge/191393
