Yes, although loopback mode for devicemapper is the out of the box configuration for Docker even though Docker themselves doesn't recommend it for production.

Yes, although loopback mode for devicemapper is the out of the box configuration for Docker even though Docker themselves doesn't recommend it for production. I had tons of issues w/devicemapper on CentOS 7 (kernel panics causing AWS to mark the host as unhealthy and kill it off) that I was finally only able to resolve by switching to AUFS under Ubuntu 16.04, which has worked pretty well for me. Knock on wood, AUFS has been pretty solid so far.
