openSUSE Optional Update: Optional update to add docker-img-store-setup ______________________________________________________________________________ Announcement ID: openSUSE-OU-2018:0541-1 Rating: low References: #956085 Affected Products: openSUSE Leap 42.3 ______________________________________________________________________________ An update that has one optional fix can now be installed. Description: By default Docker uses loopback mounted "devices" to store docker images and metadata. This default storage configuration (100 GB for image storage) leads to a rather lengthy start up phase of docker when initially launched. When docker is enabled by default, such as in the Amazon Container Service images for SUSE Linux Enterprise, the slow start up time of docker upon instance creation provides a sub optimal user experience. Additionally other services that depend on docker being operational may time out. The script and systemd unit file in the docker-img-store-setup package address the problem described above. The script creates a 100 GB device file that is then formatted with btrfs. The mounted device allows docker to use the btrfs storage driver and the start up process is very fast. This update was imported from the SUSE:SLE-12:Update update project. Patch Instructions: To install this openSUSE Optional Update use YaST online_update.
