I wanted to try a bit overlayFS.
But i can't get to mount the overlayFs
sudo mount -t overlay -o lowerdir=~/box1/lower,upperdir=~/box1/upper,workdir=~/box1/workdir overlay ~/box1/merged
mount: special device overlay does not exist
Any hint?

As the error indicates, you need to specify a proper device file.

You can explain better? I looked around the net and the syntax looks fine.

After getting stuck with this error I changed a bit the param order following other people example from the web. And i rebooted my pc during the test, just in case.

Omg fixed. Sometime you can look at the problem without seeing it. I put on mount params ~/box1/lower but my folder was ~/box1/low
Sorry

Would have been my next guess, don't forget to mark the thread as solved by appending SOLVED to the title of the thread.
