Doc Text:
overlay2 storage driver now available The overlay2 graph driver, along with overlay, is an implementation of OverlayFS, a copy-on-write union file system that features page-cache sharing between containers. However, overlay2 is the more performant option. Currently, the driver requires SELinux to be disabled in docker. overlay2 is available for docker as a Technology Preview feature. To enable the driver, specify *overlay2* in the _/etc/sysconfig/docker-storage/setup_ file: STORAGE_DRIVER=overlay2

Description Vivek Goyal 2016-08-22 19:03:29 UTC
Description of problem:

Right now, if overlay2 driver is configured, docker storage setup detects it as
"overlay" (and not overlay2) and can give wrong error message. Fix it.
