DESCRIPTION

13       Opening a file on OverlayFS in read-only mode causes the file from
14       lower layer to be opened, then later on, if the same file is opened
15       in write mode, a copy-up into the upper    layer    takes    place,
16       resulting into a new file being opened.
17       Since yum(8) needs to open the RPMdb first read-only, and then
18       also with write access, we need to copy-up the files beforehand to
19       make sure that the access is consistent.
