### Legacy "overlay" storage driver
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Deprecated in Release: v18.09.0**
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The `overlay` storage driver is deprecated in favor of the `overlay2` storage
|
||||||
|
driver, which has all the benefits of `overlay`, without its limitations (excessive
|
||||||
|
inode consumption). The legacy `overlay` storage driver will be removed in a future
|
||||||
|
release. Users of the `overlay` storage driver should migrate to the `overlay2`
|
||||||
|
storage driver.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The legacy `overlay` storage driver allowed using overlayFS-backed filesystems
|
||||||
|
on pre 4.x kernels. Now that all supported distributions are able to run `overlay2`
|
||||||
|
(as they are either on kernel 4.x, or have support for multiple lowerdirs
|
||||||
|
backported), there is no reason to keep maintaining the `overlay` storage driver.
