Description

Overlay filesystems can be prepared inside the initramfs for systems that need layered storage at startup. System builders use this hook for live media, temporary roots, or specialized boot layouts.

It is an early-boot filesystem hook, not a desktop file tool. Wrong layer paths or mount order can hide data or prevent boot.
