My biggest outstanding issue with Docker (Linux really) is the storage system. None of the three options make me feel like I'll be able to sleep at night. Aufs seems broken[1] and will never make it into the kernel. DeviceMapper seems okay, but I'm not sure how well tested the Docker usage is or how it performs. Btrfs seems ideal, but again, that's still an "experimental" file system.
I was even toying with the idea of implementing a Docker storage driver using rsync (rsnapshot?), for simplicity/stability, but not sure if that would even be possible.
Obviously something that will inevitably get resolved, but my biggest stumbling block so far.

- CSDude 13y agoBrtfs is great, it runs very fast, others takes 0.3 secs to start a container in my SSD, while brtfs takes only 0.1
- danudey 13y agoPercentage-wise, that's a pretty significant improvement, but I need more than an 0.2s performance increase to justify the switch. Are there technical reasons to switch to btrfs instead?
- wmf 13y agoWhat about the VFS driver?
