This bug was accidentially introduced in commit ec9bd07c which removed unionfs-fuse support.

Adding command line parameter to remove persistence.

Simplifying code a bit after removal of no longer supported overlay alternatives.

Dropping unionmount support, superseeded with overlay in mainline kernel.

2015-01-04T20:47:53+00:00

Dropping unionfs support, long superseeded with aufs.

Dropping unionfs-fuse support:

2015-01-04T20:47:53+00:00

* unionfs-fuse itself has been always very buggy for us. * unionfs-fuse code in live-boot as been experimental at best. * the FUSE implementation is horribly slow due to the nature of FUSE (~10min to boot a live system with unionfs-fuse compared to <<1min with aufs). * and last but not least, there's overlay in kernel mainline now.

Using 'overlay' instead of 'overlayfs' everywhere, without backwards compatibility (Closes: #773881).

2015-01-04T20:47:53+00:00

When overlayfs got merged into kernel mainline it was renamed to overlay. We don't provide backwards compatibility since overlayfs support was experimental and only with non-debian default kernels available.

Do not throw warnings when /tmp/custom_mounts.list does not exist.

2014-03-29T13:37:27+00:00

When no device for an overlay can be found, /tmp/custom_mounts.list won't be created and will produce warnings while booting: sort: /tmp/custom_mounts.list: No such file or directory rm: can't remove '/tmp/custom_mounts.list': No such file or directory Properly handle this case by calling rm with the -f option and calling sort only when the file exists.
