- hedora 6y agoOverlays are fine. I’ve used them for all sorts of stuff. Tying them to pid 1, and forcing them to be used all the time for some hacked up thing where /usr is different depending on which process is looking at it? Not so much.
- Spivak 6y agoIt’s not a hacked thing, it’s filesystem namespaces exactly as is done in Docker so that a container process doesn’t mess up its image. It’s no more privilege than pid 1 had before because of .mount units.
- Denvercoder9 6y ago> forcing them to be used all the time You know this doesn't do anything unless explicitly configured in the system and/or unit configuration?
