Apptainer 1.3.6 Release Notes:
- Avoid using kernel overlayfs when the lower layer is a sandbox on an
incompatible filesystem type such as GPFS or Lustre. For those cases
use fuse-overlayfs instead. This fixes a regression introduced in
1.3.0. The regression didn't much impact Lustre because kernel
overlayfs refused to try to use it and Apptainer proceeded to use
fuse-overlayfs anyway, but with GPFS the kernel overlayfs allowed
mounting but returned stale file handle errors.
