Bug Description

overlayfs on armadaxp is broken. This appears to be a regression first introduced in quantal; it works in precise.

Steps to reproduce:

$ sudo -i
# echo test > test
# mkdir upper
# mount -t overlayfs -o rw,upperdir=/root/upper,lowerdir=/ overlayfs /mnt
# mv /mnt/root/test /mnt/root/test2

Expected behaviour:

Silent success
File should be renamed as on a normal filesystem

Actual behaviour:

mv: cannot move `/mnt/root/test' to `/mnt/root/test2': Operation not supported
The kernel logs: [ 351.198139] overlayfs: ERROR - failed to whiteout 'test'

Impact:

sbuild does not work. For example:

$ schroot -u root -c raring-armhf -- sh -c 'mv /etc/apt/trusted.gpg /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.bak'
mv: cannot move '/etc/apt/trusted.gpg' to '/etc/apt/trusted.gpg.bak': Operation not supported

This makes development work on armhf-specific issues considerably more time consuming.

Affects:

3.5.0-1606-armadaxp on raring (linux-image-3.5.0-1606-armadaxp 3.5.0-1606.8)
3.5.0-1607-armadaxp on quantal
3.5.0-1603-armadaxp on quantal

Does not affect:

3.2.0-1613-armadaxp on precise
3.2.0-36-highbank on precise
3.5.0-22-highbank on quantal

Suspected cause:

CONFIG_EXT{3,4}_FS_XATTR are not set (thanks apw!)

Please set CONFIG_EXT{3,4}_FS_XATTR on armadaxp in raring, and consider an SRU to quantal.
