+
+The work directory is needed for atomic copy-up and similar. It is not actually
+necessary to mount a read-only overlay. Post 4.0 it is possible to mount the
+overlay without workdir (but even then it won't happen automatically in case the
+upper fs is full, so this should be fixed in the latest kernel too).
+
+Could you please try the following patch? If the workdir can't be created it
+will fall back to mounting the overlay read-only.
+
+Thanks,
+Miklos
