Details: shiftfs is a kernel filesystem for uid/gid-shifting. It is used by LXD for example.

You find more details (including limitations etc.) in the official LXD forum: https://discuss.linuxcontainers.org/t/trying-out-shiftfs/5155 https://discuss.linuxcontainers.org/t/lxd-usecases-of-shiftfs-volume-disk-share/7735
and in my Github repo: https://github.com/toby63/shiftfs-dkms

Report on the initial implementation in the Ubuntu Kernel repo: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1823186

Usage in LXD:

If you use the LXD package from the Arch Repos, shiftfs will be enabled by default. You can check whether it is enabled with "lxc info" (look for: shiftfs: "true").
