I’m doing something which is kind of weird, creating an overlayfs mount in which the lower directory is a FUSE volume (which I’ve implemented). This seems to mostly work, I can read files from the FUSE mount through the overlayfs mount, and they have the right content. I can also create new files in the overlayfs mount, which is unsurprising since that should just require that the lower FUSE layer return an ENOENT response when you try to LOOKUP that file. What fails is when I attempt to append to an existing file, instead of getting the existing content followed by the appended content, I just get the appended content. I’m assuming that there must be something that my FUSE volume is supposed to be doing that it isn’t, that’s causing this error. However looking at logs it’s not complaining about any unimplemented methods and nothing is erroring. Here are the logs for the relevent file (“foo”).

The fuse layer is written in go if that matters at all.
