Sorry, you lost me.
The combination of IMA+EVM+OVL must be too complicated to
explain in plain language without an explicit test spelled out...
When you write "The file content change + copy-up of file content also
has completely decoupled the lower file from the file on the overlay",
what do you mean by "copy up of the file content"?
Why was the file content copied up?
I was asking about use case that only metadata was copied up but
lower file content, which is still the content of the ovl file was changed
underneath ovl - this case does not cause data content to be copied up.
I don't think we understand each other.
Thanks,
Amir.
