Ask yourself, why dotCloud chooses aufs for their container implementation docker? Obviously, they need a decent hassle-free layered filesystem solution, and they go through the pains of using a 3rd party kernel module to get there.
overlayfs can't handle more than one layer. Well, it does but the stack deep is limited to 2. docker requires multiple layers, and aufs provides that as "branches". In any case they can't stay with aufs3, but overlayfs is not a drop-in replacement. -- Duncan Mac-Vicar P. - http://www.suse.com/ SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Jeff Hawn, Jennifer Guild, Felix Imendörffer, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Maxfeldstraße 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+owner@opensuse.org
