> These patches replace the FUSE-based unionfs by the kernel-based overlayfs.
> For the insallation image this reduces the size of the initrd by ca. 4.3%
> (487K).
>
> I verified this is working by successfiully running
>    make check-system TESTS=installed-os.

> One thing I did not change: In gnu/system/install.scm
> (installation-os)[file-systems], /tmp is still mounted to tmpfs.  This was
> introduced in ee03b75dfb3399f41002c38ac512473ab94afa74 for unionfs because
> FUSE creates .fuse_hiddenXYZ' files for each open file, and this confuses
> Guix's test suite, for instance (see <http://bugs.gnu.org/23056>).  This
> should no longer be necessary when using overlayfs, since overlayfs uses a
> separate workdir.  However I was not able to trigger bug 23056 while still
> using unionfs, so I could not verify whether this mount is still needed with
> overlayfs and I decided to keep it.
