Dan, Dusty, Vivek: So far nobody has defined (technically) the exact problem with overlayfs and how it affects applications which want to write data inside the container. Note that just saying "don't use Overlay for persistent data" really isn't good enough. Apps in containers frequently write data to places users aren't aware of, such as writing port information to /var/run. While this data may not be important to the user, the app will fail if it errors out. Pushing a change which will cause 30% of a user's containers to start failing for reasons which are opaque to them is not something we should do lightly. -- -- Josh Berkus Project Atomic Red Hat OSAS _______________________________________________ cloud mailing list -- cloud@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to cloud-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
