I think kernel at least must print warning message when mount option 
overflow the PAGE_SIZE if length of mount option should be fixed. 
When i encouter this problem, i found the reason hard because of 
lack of kernel log and wrong infomation.

Do you mean using symlinks or bind mount to reduce length of mount
options?? I can remove "~/tca_agent/image_layer_dir" string. But the
other character means unique ID of layer and i can't compress it or
replace it to another string. This is not fundamental solution. Docker 
use the same unique ID to manage layers. 

As i said before overlayfs could suffer same problem because overlayfs 
support multiple lowerdir options and there is no route to pass lower
dirs without mount option. So i think to support unionfs stably in
kernel, dynamic memory allocation for mount option is needed.

Thanks.
