Script or program to run when overlay filesystem needs remounting. Script or other executable to run when overlay filesystem needs remounting.
TODO: Document this in more detail. This is occasionally necessary when deleting a store path that exists in both upper and lower layers.
In such a situation, bypassing OverlayFS and deleting the path in the upper layer directly
is the only way to perform the deletion without creating a "whiteout".
However this causes the OverlayFS kernel data structures to get out-of-sync,
and can lead to 'stale file handle' errors; remounting solves the problem.
The store directory is passed as an argument to the invoked executable.
