This combines the advantages of Device Mapper (granularity) and AUFS/overlay (page cache re-use), and doesn't require new kernel code. Promising!

Yes, also it does not have data corruption issues reported with overlays (readers vs writers). Also it supports atomic rename. NO whiteouts required as in the case of a union file systems (so not to worry about deleted files coming back).
