Description
Problem description
moby/moby#34430 updated the list of storage-drivers and promoted overlay2 over aufs.
As a result, aufs will no longer be selected automatically if the required kernel modules are installed to support it. For comparison;
Before this PR (taking Ubuntu 16.04 as example, because it always has kernel 4+)
- When installing docker on a Ubuntu 16.04 machine with the
linux-image-extra
package installed (which providesaufs
), docker would selectaufs
as storage driver. - When installing docker on a Ubuntu 16.05 machine without the
linux-image-extra
package installed, docker would selectoverlay2
After this PR, overlay2
will be selected as the default, unless an existing aufs
directory was found (so users that are currently running aufs
will stay on aufs
unless they do a "factory reset" and wipe out their /var/lib/docker
directory)
Problem location
Most likely this section needs an update; https://docs.docker.com/engine/userguide/storagedriver/selectadriver/
Project version(s) affected
This change will be included in the next Docker release that is using the current master of the moby/moby repository (17.08)
