Ideally lvm2 would be used to create/manage the thin-pool volume that is then handed to docker to exclusively create/manage the thin and thin snapshot volumes needed for it's containers. Managing the thin-pool outside of docker makes for the most feature-rich method of having docker utilize device mapper thin provisioning as the backing storage for docker's containers. lvm2-based thin-pool management feature highlights include: automatic or interactive thin-pool resize support, dynamically change thin-pool features, automatic thinp metadata checking when lvm2 activates the thin-pool, etc. Docker will not activate/deactivate the specified thin-pool device but it will exclusively manage/create thin and thin snapshot volumes in it. Docker will not take ownership of the specified thin-pool device unless it has 0 data blocks used and a transaction id of 0. This should help guard against using a thin-pool that is already in use. Also fix typos in setupBaseImage() relative to the thin volume type of the base image. Docker-DCO-1.1-Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com> (github: snitm) |
