### Daemon storage-driver
The Docker daemon has support for several different image layer storage
On Linux, the Docker daemon has support for several different image layer storage
drivers: `aufs`, `devicemapper`, `btrfs`, `zfs`, `overlay` and `overlay2`.
The `aufs` driver is the oldest, but is based on a Linux kernel patch-set that

On Windows, the Docker daemon supports a single image layer storage driver
depending on the image platform: `windowsfilter` for Windows images, and
`lcow` for Linux containers on Windows.
### Options per storage driver
Particular storage-driver can be configured with options specified with
`--storage-opt` flags. Options for `devicemapper` are prefixed with `dm`,
options for `zfs` start with `zfs` and options for `btrfs` start with `btrfs`.
options for `zfs` start with `zfs`, options for `btrfs` start with `btrfs`
and options for `lcow` start with `lcow`.

$ sudo dockerd -s overlay2 --storage-opt overlay2.size=1G

#### Windowsfilter options
##### `size`
Specifies the size to use when creating the sandbox which is used for containers.
Defaults to 20G.
###### Example
```PowerShell
C:\> dockerd --storage-opt size=40G
```
#### LCOW (Linux Containers on Windows) options
##### `lcow.globalmode`
Specifies whether the daemon instantiates utility VM instances as required
(recommended and default if omitted), or uses single global utility VM (better
performance, but has security implications and not recommended for production
deployments).
###### Example
```PowerShell
C:\> dockerd --storage-opt lcow.globalmode=false
```
##### `lcow.kirdpath`
Specifies the folder path to the location of a pair of kernel and initrd files
used for booting a utility VM. Defaults to `%ProgramFiles%\Linux Containers`.
###### Example
```PowerShell
C:\> dockerd --storage-opt lcow.kirdpath=c:\path\to\files
```
##### `lcow.kernel`
Specifies the filename of a kernel file located in the `lcow.kirdpath` path.
Defaults to `bootx64.efi`.
###### Example
```PowerShell
C:\> dockerd --storage-opt lcow.kernel=kernel.efi
```
##### `lcow.initrd`
Specifies the filename of an initrd file located in the `lcow.kirdpath` path.
Defaults to `initrd.img`.
###### Example
```PowerShell
C:\> dockerd --storage-opt lcow.initrd=myinitrd.img
```
##### `lcow.bootparameters`
Specifies additional boot parameters for booting utility VMs when in kernel/
initrd mode. Ignored if the utility VM is booting from VHD. These settings
are kernel specific.
###### Example
```PowerShell
C:\> dockerd --storage-opt "lcow.bootparameters='option=value'"
```
##### `lcow.vhdx`
Specifies a custom VHDX to boot a utility VM, as an alternate to kernel
and initrd booting. Defaults to `uvm.vhdx` under `lcow.kirdpath`.
###### Example
```PowerShell
C:\> dockerd --storage-opt lcow.vhdx=custom.vhdx
```
##### `lcow.timeout`
Specifies the timeout for utility VM operations in seconds. Defaults
to 300.
###### Example
```PowerShell
C:\> dockerd --storage-opt lcow.timeout=240
```
##### `lcow.sandboxsize`
Specifies the size in GB to use when creating the sandbox which is used for
containers. Defaults to 20. Cannot be less than 20.
###### Example
```PowerShell
C:\> dockerd --storage-opt lcow.sandboxsize=40
```
