I multiboot several distributions
which are at separate subvolumes.
They are stored in a not standardised
layout.
I have some subvolumes which I want
mounted in a layered way.
I prefere to use aufs .
For example, I want /home/myname to be mounted at every dist .
I also want some generic /use/share/bin to be overlay mounted with the dist-specific one.
There are to many subdirs/files to maintain symlinks instead of overlay-mount.
Due to cow-issues between btrfs and layered FS , I understand that I should not use layered fs together with btrfs.
I figured out that I maybe could overlay-mount read-wtiteable ext4 images , which resides on btrfs-subvols.
I suppose I then should disable CoW for just the wm images.
In that way I could still snapshot the subvols which contains the image-files.
I mainly would like to know if there is better solutions to combine btrfs and layered fs .
