IRC context from today:
didrocks | apw: I just tried t_name_to_handle_at.c from man name_to_handle_at
apw | didrocks, it seems to be returning ENOSUPP for me
apw | didrocks, well it failed, as expected
 didrocks | apw: so, I guess this is expected that overlayfs doesn't support it                                            
 didrocks | hum, I wonder how I can detect if a file is a mount point (meaning, I guess, in that context, being overridden)
 didrocks | apw: the systemd logic is to test a path, test the parent path, and check mount_id                             
 didrocks | the fallback is using stat()                                                                                   
 didrocks | and comparing st_dev                                                                                           
      apw | which sounds ok ?                                                                                              
      apw | oh perhaps not if the path is a file and the parent a directory                                                
 didrocks | apw: yeah, that exactly what happens here, path is file, parent a dir                                          
      apw | its not clear that name_to_handle_at would work any better if it did work of course                            
      apw | this seems like an odd way to work out what is a mountpoint to me, then again it is systemd                    
 didrocks | apw: just run a test, and I confirm that st_dev is different if path == file from parent == dir.     
 didrocks | apw: hum, yeah, seems tricky to even think of a workaround…                                          
 didrocks | the easiest way would be to take another file (if any) into the same dir, but doesn't seem efficient…
