--bind-ro='DIRECTORY:DIRECTORY[:OPTIONS][;DIRECTORY:DIRECTORY[:OPTIONS]]':
Specify container read-only bind mounts, see systemd-nspawn(1) --bind-ro
option.
--cnt-overlay='DIRECTORY_LOWER:DIRECTORY_UPPER:DIRECTORY_WORK:DIRECTORY_MERGED[;DIRECTORY_UPPER:DIRECTORY_LOWER:DIRECTORY_WORK:DIRECTORY_MERGED]':
Specify container overlay mounts, see Documentation/filesystems/overlayfs.txt.
