Thanks for the report.

That docker image seems to use a quite old coreutils version:
overlayfs - commonly used with Docker containers - has been added
in version 8.25 which was released in 2016.
Consider upgrading Coreutils if possible - we're at 9.1 currently.

See https://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/filesystems.html for
more details.

Have a nice day,
