The inodes index feature prevents breaking of lower hardlinks on copy
up.
- Note, that the inodes index feature is read-only backward compatible.
- That is, mounting an overlay which has an index dir on a kernel that
- doesn't support this feature read-only, will not have any negative
- outcomes. However, mounting the same overlay with an old kernel
- read-write and then mounting it again with a new kernel, will have
- unexpected results.
