Thanks for this neat thread.
I wonder if there are any thing new regarding this. The motivation for me to try this would be to be able to update Touch firmware more easily. Right now, if I want to let it update the firmware, I have to go through the list of mods, hack and file changes I have made which is cumbersome. Now with this overlay file system, would it be possible to just disable overlay and update and then re-enable and have all the modifications in place?
