    Description:
    In a shortened session in the filesystem track at the 2026 Linux Storage, Filesystem, Memory Management, and BPF Summit , Amir Goldstein gave an
    update on the overlayfs
    union filesystem . There are some new features over the last few years
    that he wanted to mention, along with looking at the status of nesting overlayfs layers. The composefs use case that was discussed at the summit in 2023 has led to some interesting changes to overlayfs.
