Avoid whiteout lookup on lower

[jpambrun]

I am trying to mount a s3 bucked as the lower to overlayfs.

Unfortunately, after mounting with fuse-overlayfs, mount-s3 report 1000s of .wh.XXX lookup and is completely overwhelmed. Is there a way to avoid this?

mount-s3 --read-only --cache /tmp/s3-cache my-bucket -f -d ~/mnt_s3/my-bucket_lower

fuse-overlayfs -o lowerdir=~/mnt_s3/my-bucket_lower,upperdir=~/mnt_s3/my-bucket_upper,workdir=~/mnt_s3/my-bucket_working ~/mnt_s3/my-bucket

This works with sudo mount -t overlay overlay.., but I want a fuse option.
