Bug Description

Shiftfs is built and included in all other ubuntu kernels that I know of and if I'm not mistaken is sponsored by ubuntu mostly for use with LXD containers, which is my use case. It also included in the linux-oem-5.10. Is there a reason shiftfs is not included in the 5.13 oem release?

Why is this invalid? I presume because there's the idmapped mounts feature. The problem is that this doesn't work in 5.13 when BTRFS is the underlying filesystem. So shiftfs is still useful. Its turned on in master build[1], why not for OEM, which is the only 5.13 available for focal?

Here's a discussion suggesting that idmapped mounts for BTRFS won't be available till 5.15[2]

This bug is awaiting verification that the linux-oem-5.13/5.13.0-1023.28 kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed-focal' to 'verification-done-focal'. If the problem still exists, change the tag 'verification-needed-focal' to 'verification-failed-focal'.

If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed.

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you!
