Hi,

this is an Ubuntu-specific bug, the overlayfs v1 compat patch is not included upstream.

(For completeness, I did boot the 3.19-rc4 mainline kernel and verify that, per comment 4.)

FWIW, I think (but am not sure how to confirm) that it's falling into vfs_rename with flags including RENAME_WHITEOUT...

Thanks.
