Problem with mounting overlayfs on top of rootfs.

Hi guys.
I am trying to mount overlayfs on top of rootfs. It worked a while ago, but now I get an error

sudo mount -t overlay overlay -o,lowerdir=/,upperdir=upper,workdir=work processdir
mount: /test/processdir: mount(2) system call failed: Too many levels of symbolic links.

Is it possible to fix? The purpose of this is to try an aur-package without affecting system.
