#63 Fedora 26 change: Docker Overlay 2
Closed: Fixed 6 years ago Opened 6 years ago by pbokoc.

This issue tracks the release note for the following F26 Change:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/DockerOverlay2

If you want to write this release note, then:

  1. Assign this issue to yourself
  2. Check the wiki page linked above, find out what the change is about
  3. Determine whether the change actually made it into the release or not[0]
  4. Write a draft release note using that information
  5. Get in touch with the contact person/people listed on the wiki page, either through IRC or e-mail, and ask them to check your draft for technical accuracy

Note that sometimes, the contact people are unresponsive. Try to do your best, but if nobody gets back to you, it's not the end of the world.

Once you're done with the above, make sure to either commit the relnote to an appropriate section of the Release Notes book, or, if you're not familiar with Git, DocBook, or whatever else, just add it to this issue as a comment and let pbokoc[1] know that you're done with this one and you'd like the note included. Be sure to do this at least one day before the final release (so the limit is July 10 according to the current schedule). Also make sure to do this even for relnotes that haven't been checked by the change owner.


[0] You can do that by asking the change owner listed on the wiki page; alternatively you can infer it by checking the tracker bug (linked in Wiki) in Bugzilla and looking at its status; see bug comments for details. Ask someone on the mailing list or on IRC if you're not sure.

@yoanaruseva what's the status here?

Have @lsm5 and @dwalsh provided the release notes promised in the change?

Hi @lsm5, @dwalsh,

I have a draft for the release note on overlay2 for docker here:

https://paste.fedoraproject.org/paste/loJN8ovIY0qbgTbGXNo6sQ

I have two questions, is the comparison between Fedora Workstation and Atomic Host (+Server) relevant at this point when the changes have been implemented?

Also, do you have a link for the blog post mentioned here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/DockerOverlay2 so I can link to it from the release note?

Thanks!

Yoana

@yoanaruseva your draft release notes look good to me.

I think comparison between different various flavors of fedora might not be very important to mention in release notes. Basically, workstation and server setup overlayfs on root file system but atomic host sets up it on free space available in volume group (rootfs is 3G and too small).

I don't think we wrote any blogs to reset the storage. In simplest form user needs to do following.

  • systemctl stop docker
  • atomic storage reset
  • edit /etc/sysconfig/docker-storage-setup and add following.
    STORAGE_DRIVER=devicemapper
    DEVS=<list-of-devices>
  • systemctl start docker

Note: For atomic and server variants, there is no need to specify DEVS as there should be free space in root volume group and that space will be used for setting up thin pool. For Workstation variant, one will have to specify free block devices in DEVS, as there is no free space in root volume group by default.
