Reading what seems to be the relevant commit: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/ubuntu-vivid.git;a=commitdiff;h=9a742a48114e416e9a4cd6e8615ba0d261dda599

If I'm reading that right, then a v1 overlayfs (mounted as "overlayfs") should be using the old-style (symlink) whiteouts, right? Why am I seeing char devices at all?
