Hi everyone,

I'm running Ubuntu trusty and recently upgraded to the new kernel (3.19).
When creating a snapshotted clone of a regular LXC container using
overlayfs, I'm now seeing the kernel error 'failed to whiteout'.

Has anyone experienced a similar problem, is this a known issue already?

Below some debug information:

- Kernel error: http://pastebin.com/iajXHbHZ
- Kernel version: 3.19.0-25-generic #26~14.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jul 24
21:16:20 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
- Executed LXC command: lxc-clone -s -B overlayfs orig test (both
unprivileged containers)
- LXC version: 1.0.7

Any help/pointers would be appreciated.

Best
Thomas
