From EasyOS 7.0.11, the default layered filsystem is overlay instead of aufs. This has broken lockdown-mode, as reported by tammi806:

Lockdown mode is great, it needs to be fixed. For those new to EasyOS, here is an introduction:

I found out what is wrong. The 'init' script in the initrd was
not creating the temporary folder, required by overlay, in the
correct place. Lockdown is now working.
