Thanks a lot for the workaround!!!
Though it doesn't work with read-only NFSv4.1 and OverlayFS with TmpFS on Stretch, both kernels 4.9 and 4.19.
Any ideas?
In the hook I added your workaround and:
manual_add_modules overlay
Then on /etc/initramfs-tools/scripts/init-bottom/local:
mkdir -m 700 /ovl
mkdir /ovl/lower /ovl/ram /ovl/merged
mount -n -o move $rootmnt /ovl/lower
mount -n -t tmpfs -o 'mode=755,size=75%' tmpfs /ovl/ram
mkdir /ovl/ram/upper /ovl/ram/work
mount -n -t overlay -o "lowerdir=/ovl/lower,upperdir=/ovl/ram/upper,workdir=/ovl/ram/work,_netdev" overlay /ovl/merged
mount -n -o move /ovl/merged $rootmnt
mkdir -m 700 $rootmnt/ovl
mkdir $rootmnt/ovl/lower $rootmnt/ovl/ram
mount -n -o move /ovl/lower $rootmnt/ovl/lower
mount -n -o move /ovl/ram $rootmnt/ovl/ram
This works with NFSv3.
Also, if I test it on an already booted system with mounting NFSv4.1 manually and doing the overlay it works.
So, something in the initramfs is different to the booted up system that causes the problem, but couldn't find it.
If anyone has any idea of things to try I can report back the results and try to provide a fully working solution afterwards.
Thanks!
