       singularity-overlay-create - Create EXT3 writable overlay image

SYNOPSIS

       singularity overlay create  image

DESCRIPTION

       The overlay create command allows to create EXT3 writable overlay image either
         as a single EXT3 image or by adding it automatically to an existing SIF image.

OPTIONS

       --create-dir=[]      directory to create as part of the overlay layout

       -h, --help[=false]      help for create

       -s, --size=64      size of the EXT3 writable overlay in MiB

       -S, --sparse[=false]      create a sparse overlay

EXAMPLE

         To create and add a writable overlay to an existing SIF image:
         $ singularity overlay create --size 1024 /tmp/image.sif

         To create a single EXT3 writable overlay image:
         $ singularity overlay create --size 1024 /tmp/my_overlay.img

         To create a sparse overlay when creating a new ext3 file system image:
         $ singularity overlay create --size 1024 --sparse /tmp/ext3_overlay.img
