|
|||
### 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`.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Devicemapper options
|
||||
|
||||
This is an example of the configuration file for devicemapper on Linux:
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"storage-driver": "devicemapper",
|
||||
"storage-opts": [
|
||||
"dm.thinpooldev=/dev/mapper/thin-pool",
|
||||
"dm.use_deferred_deletion=true",
|
||||
"dm.use_deferred_removal=true"
|
||||
]
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
##### `dm.thinpooldev`
|
||||
|
||||
Specifies a custom block storage device to use for the thin pool.
|
||||
|
||||
If using a block device for device mapper storage, it is best to use `lvm`
|
||||
to create and manage the thin-pool volume. This volume is then handed to Docker
|
||||
to exclusively create snapshot volumes needed for images and containers.
|
||||
|
||||
Managing the thin-pool outside of Engine makes for the most feature-rich
|
||||
method of having Docker utilize device mapper thin provisioning as the
|
||||
backing storage for Docker containers. The highlights of the lvm-based
|
||||
thin-pool management feature include: automatic or interactive thin-pool
|
||||
resize support, dynamically changing thin-pool features, automatic thinp
|
||||
metadata checking when lvm activates the thin-pool, etc.
|
||||
|
||||
As a fallback if no thin pool is provided, loopback files are
|
||||
created. Loopback is very slow, but can be used without any
|
||||
pre-configuration of storage. It is strongly recommended that you do
|
||||
not use loopback in production. Ensure your Engine daemon has a
|
||||
`--storage-opt dm.thinpooldev` argument provided.
|
||||
|
||||
###### Example:
|
||||
|
||||
```console
|
||||
$ sudo dockerd --storage-opt dm.thinpooldev=/dev/mapper/thin-pool
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
##### `dm.directlvm_device`
|
||||
|
||||
As an alternative to providing a thin pool as above, Docker can setup a block
|
||||
device for you.
|
||||
|
||||
###### Example:
|
||||
|
||||
```console
|
||||
$ sudo dockerd --storage-opt dm.directlvm_device=/dev/xvdf
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
##### `dm.thinp_percent`
|
||||
|
||||
Sets the percentage of passed in block device to use for storage.
|
||||
|
||||
###### Example:
|
||||
|
||||
```console
|
||||
$ sudo dockerd --storage-opt dm.thinp_percent=95
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
##### `dm.thinp_metapercent`
|
||||
|
||||
Sets the percentage of the passed in block device to use for metadata storage.
|
||||
|
||||
###### Example:
|
||||
|
||||
```console
|
||||
$ sudo dockerd --storage-opt dm.thinp_metapercent=1
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
##### `dm.thinp_autoextend_threshold`
|
||||
|
||||
Sets the value of the percentage of space used before `lvm` attempts to
|
||||
autoextend the available space [100 = disabled]
|
||||
|
||||
###### Example:
|
||||
|
||||
```console
|
||||
$ sudo dockerd --storage-opt dm.thinp_autoextend_threshold=80
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
##### `dm.thinp_autoextend_percent`
|
||||
|
||||
Sets the value percentage value to increase the thin pool by when `lvm`
|
||||
attempts to autoextend the available space [100 = disabled]
|
||||
|
||||
###### Example:
|
||||
|
||||
```console
|
||||
$ sudo dockerd --storage-opt dm.thinp_autoextend_percent=20
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
##### `dm.basesize`
|
||||
|
||||
Specifies the size to use when creating the base device, which limits the
|
||||
size of images and containers. The default value is 10G. Note, thin devices
|
||||
are inherently "sparse", so a 10G device which is mostly empty doesn't use
|
||||
10 GB of space on the pool. However, the filesystem will use more space for
|
||||
the empty case the larger the device is.
|
||||
|
||||
The base device size can be increased at daemon restart which will allow
|
||||
all future images and containers (based on those new images) to be of the
|
||||
new base device size.
|
||||
|
||||
###### Examples
|
||||
|
||||
```console
|
||||
$ sudo dockerd --storage-opt dm.basesize=50G
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This will increase the base device size to 50G. The Docker daemon will throw an
|
||||
error if existing base device size is larger than 50G. A user can use
|
||||
this option to expand the base device size however shrinking is not permitted.
|
||||
|
||||
This value affects the system-wide "base" empty filesystem
|
||||
that may already be initialized and inherited by pulled images. Typically,
|
||||
a change to this value requires additional steps to take effect:
|
||||
|
||||
```console
|
||||
$ sudo service docker stop
|
||||
|
||||
$ sudo rm -rf /var/lib/docker
|
||||
|
||||
$ sudo service docker start
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
##### `dm.loopdatasize`
|
||||
|
||||
> **Note**
|
||||
>
|
||||
> This option configures devicemapper loopback, which should not
|
||||
> be used in production.
|
||||
|
||||
Specifies the size to use when creating the loopback file for the
|
||||
"data" device which is used for the thin pool. The default size is
|
||||
100G. The file is sparse, so it will not initially take up this
|
||||
much space.
|
||||
|
||||
###### Example
|
||||
|
||||
```console
|
||||
$ sudo dockerd --storage-opt dm.loopdatasize=200G
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
##### `dm.loopmetadatasize`
|
||||
|
||||
> **Note**
|
||||
>
|
||||
> This option configures devicemapper loopback, which should not
|
||||
> be used in production.
|
||||
|
||||
Specifies the size to use when creating the loopback file for the
|
||||
"metadata" device which is used for the thin pool. The default size
|
||||
is 2G. The file is sparse, so it will not initially take up
|
||||
this much space.
|
||||
|
||||
###### Example
|
||||
|
||||
```console
|
||||
$ sudo dockerd --storage-opt dm.loopmetadatasize=4G
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
##### `dm.fs`
|
||||
|
||||
Specifies the filesystem type to use for the base device. The supported
|
||||
options are "ext4" and "xfs". The default is "xfs"
|
||||
|
||||
###### Example
|
||||
|
||||
```console
|
||||
$ sudo dockerd --storage-opt dm.fs=ext4
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
##### `dm.mkfsarg`
|
||||
|
||||
Specifies extra mkfs arguments to be used when creating the base device.
|
||||
|
||||
###### Example
|
||||
|
||||
```console
|
||||
$ sudo dockerd --storage-opt "dm.mkfsarg=-O ^has_journal"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
##### `dm.mountopt`
|
||||
|
||||
Specifies extra mount options used when mounting the thin devices.
|
||||
|
||||
###### Example
|
||||
|
||||
```console
|
||||
$ sudo dockerd --storage-opt dm.mountopt=nodiscard
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
##### `dm.datadev`
|
||||
|
||||
(Deprecated, use `dm.thinpooldev`)
|
||||
|
||||
Specifies a custom blockdevice to use for data for the thin pool.
|
||||
|
||||
If using a block device for device mapper storage, ideally both `datadev` and
|
||||
`metadatadev` should be specified to completely avoid using the loopback
|
||||
device.
|
||||
|
||||
###### Example
|
||||
|
||||
```console
|
||||
$ sudo dockerd \
|
||||
--storage-opt dm.datadev=/dev/sdb1 \
|
||||
--storage-opt dm.metadatadev=/dev/sdc1
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
##### `dm.metadatadev`
|
||||
|
||||
(Deprecated, use `dm.thinpooldev`)
|
||||
|
||||
Specifies a custom blockdevice to use for metadata for the thin pool.
|
||||
|
||||
For best performance the metadata should be on a different spindle than the
|
||||
data, or even better on an SSD.
|
||||
|
||||
If setting up a new metadata pool it is required to be valid. This can be
|
||||
achieved by zeroing the first 4k to indicate empty metadata, like this:
|
||||
|
||||
```console
|
||||
$ dd if=/dev/zero of=$metadata_dev bs=4096 count=1
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
###### Example
|
||||
|
||||
```console
|
||||
$ sudo dockerd \
|
||||
--storage-opt dm.datadev=/dev/sdb1 \
|
||||
--storage-opt dm.metadatadev=/dev/sdc1
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
##### `dm.blocksize`
|
||||
|
||||
Specifies a custom blocksize to use for the thin pool. The default
|
||||
blocksize is 64K.
|
||||
|
||||
###### Example
|
||||
|
||||
```console
|
||||
$ sudo dockerd --storage-opt dm.blocksize=512K
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
##### `dm.blkdiscard`
|
||||
|
||||
Enables or disables the use of `blkdiscard` when removing devicemapper
|
||||
devices. This is enabled by default (only) if using loopback devices and is
|
||||
required to resparsify the loopback file on image/container removal.
|
||||
|
||||
Disabling this on loopback can lead to *much* faster container removal
|
||||
times, but will make the space used in `/var/lib/docker` directory not be
|
||||
returned to the system for other use when containers are removed.
|
||||
|
||||
###### Examples
|
||||
|
||||
```console
|
||||
$ sudo dockerd --storage-opt dm.blkdiscard=false
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
##### `dm.override_udev_sync_check`
|
||||
|
||||
Overrides the `udev` synchronization checks between `devicemapper` and `udev`.
|
||||
`udev` is the device manager for the Linux kernel.
|
||||
|
||||
To view the `udev` sync support of a Docker daemon that is using the
|
||||
`devicemapper` driver, run:
|
||||
|
||||
```console
|
||||
$ docker info
|
||||
<...>
|
||||
Udev Sync Supported: true
|
||||
<...>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
When `udev` sync support is `true`, then `devicemapper` and udev can
|
||||
coordinate the activation and deactivation of devices for containers.
|
||||
|
||||
When `udev` sync support is `false`, a race condition occurs between
|
||||
the`devicemapper` and `udev` during create and cleanup. The race condition
|
||||
results in errors and failures. (For information on these failures, see
|
||||
[docker#4036](https://github.com/docker/docker/issues/4036))
|
||||
|
||||
To allow the `docker` daemon to start, regardless of `udev` sync not being
|
||||
supported, set `dm.override_udev_sync_check` to true:
|
||||
|
||||
```console
|
||||
$ sudo dockerd --storage-opt dm.override_udev_sync_check=true
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
When this value is `true`, the `devicemapper` continues and simply warns
|
||||
you the errors are happening.
|
||||
|
||||
> **Note**
|
||||
>
|
||||
> The ideal is to pursue a `docker` daemon and environment that does
|
||||
> support synchronizing with `udev`. For further discussion on this
|
||||
> topic, see [docker#4036](https://github.com/docker/docker/issues/4036).
|
||||
> Otherwise, set this flag for migrating existing Docker daemons to
|
||||
> a daemon with a supported environment.
|
||||
|
||||
##### `dm.use_deferred_removal`
|
||||
|
||||
Enables use of deferred device removal if `libdm` and the kernel driver
|
||||
support the mechanism.
|
||||
|
||||
Deferred device removal means that if device is busy when devices are
|
||||
being removed/deactivated, then a deferred removal is scheduled on
|
||||
device. And devices automatically go away when last user of the device
|
||||
exits.
|
||||
|
||||
For example, when a container exits, its associated thin device is removed.
|
||||
If that device has leaked into some other mount namespace and can't be
|
||||
removed, the container exit still succeeds and this option causes the
|
||||
system to schedule the device for deferred removal. It does not wait in a
|
||||
loop trying to remove a busy device.
|
||||
|
||||
###### Example
|
||||
|
||||
```console
|
||||
$ sudo dockerd --storage-opt dm.use_deferred_removal=true
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
##### `dm.use_deferred_deletion`
|
||||
|
||||
Enables use of deferred device deletion for thin pool devices. By default,
|
||||
thin pool device deletion is synchronous. Before a container is deleted,
|
||||
the Docker daemon removes any associated devices. If the storage driver
|
||||
can not remove a device, the container deletion fails and daemon returns.
|
||||
|
||||
```console
|
||||
Error deleting container: Error response from daemon: Cannot destroy container
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
To avoid this failure, enable both deferred device deletion and deferred
|
||||
device removal on the daemon.
|
||||
|
||||
```console
|
||||
$ sudo dockerd \
|
||||
--storage-opt dm.use_deferred_deletion=true \
|
||||
--storage-opt dm.use_deferred_removal=true
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
With these two options enabled, if a device is busy when the driver is
|
||||
deleting a container, the driver marks the device as deleted. Later, when
|
||||
the device isn't in use, the driver deletes it.
|
||||
|
||||
In general it should be safe to enable this option by default. It will help
|
||||
when unintentional leaking of mount point happens across multiple mount
|
||||
namespaces.
|
||||
|
||||
##### `dm.min_free_space`
|
||||
|
||||
Specifies the min free space percent in a thin pool require for new device
|
||||
creation to succeed. This check applies to both free data space as well
|
||||
as free metadata space. Valid values are from 0% - 99%. Value 0% disables
|
||||
free space checking logic. If user does not specify a value for this option,
|
||||
the Engine uses a default value of 10%.
|
||||
|
||||
Whenever a new a thin pool device is created (during `docker pull` or during
|
||||
container creation), the Engine checks if the minimum free space is
|
||||
available. If sufficient space is unavailable, then device creation fails
|
||||
and any relevant `docker` operation fails.
|
||||
|
||||
To recover from this error, you must create more free space in the thin pool
|
||||
to recover from the error. You can create free space by deleting some images
|
||||
and containers from the thin pool. You can also add more storage to the thin
|
||||
pool.
|
||||
|
||||
To add more space to a LVM (logical volume management) thin pool, just add
|
||||
more storage to the volume group container thin pool; this should automatically
|
||||
resolve any errors. If your configuration uses loop devices, then stop the
|
||||
Engine daemon, grow the size of loop files and restart the daemon to resolve
|
||||
the issue.
|
||||
|
||||
###### Example
|
||||
|
||||
```console
|
||||
$ sudo dockerd --storage-opt dm.min_free_space=10%
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
##### `dm.xfs_nospace_max_retries`
|
||||
|
||||
Specifies the maximum number of retries XFS should attempt to complete
|
||||
IO when ENOSPC (no space) error is returned by underlying storage device.
|
||||
|
||||
By default XFS retries infinitely for IO to finish and this can result
|
||||
in unkillable process. To change this behavior one can set
|
||||
xfs_nospace_max_retries to say 0 and XFS will not retry IO after getting
|
||||
ENOSPC and will shutdown filesystem.
|
||||
|
||||
###### Example
|
||||
|
||||
```console
|
||||
$ sudo dockerd --storage-opt dm.xfs_nospace_max_retries=0
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
##### `dm.libdm_log_level`
|
||||
|
||||
Specifies the maxmimum `libdm` log level that will be forwarded to the
|
||||
`dockerd` log (as specified by `--log-level`). This option is primarily
|
||||
intended for debugging problems involving `libdm`. Using values other than the
|
||||
defaults may cause false-positive warnings to be logged.
|
||||
|
||||
Values specified must fall within the range of valid `libdm` log levels. At the
|
||||
time of writing, the following is the list of `libdm` log levels as well as
|
||||
their corresponding levels when output by `dockerd`.
|
||||
|
||||
| `libdm` Level | Value | `--log-level` |
|
||||
|---------------|------:|---------------|
|
||||
| `_LOG_FATAL` | 2 | error |
|
||||
| `_LOG_ERR` | 3 | error |
|
||||
| `_LOG_WARN` | 4 | warn |
|
||||
| `_LOG_NOTICE` | 5 | info |
|
||||
| `_LOG_INFO` | 6 | info |
|
||||
| `_LOG_DEBUG` | 7 | debug |

# STORAGE DRIVER OPTIONS
|
||||
|
||||
Docker uses storage backends (known as "graphdrivers" in the Docker
|
||||
Docker uses storage backends (known as "storage drivers" in the Docker
|
||||
internals) to create writable containers from images. Many of these
|
||||
backends use operating system level technologies and can be
|
||||
configured.
|
||||
|
||||
Specify options to the storage backend with **--storage-opt** flags. The
|
||||
backends that currently take options are **devicemapper**, **zfs** and **btrfs**.
|
||||
Options for **devicemapper** are prefixed with **dm.**, options for **zfs**
|
||||
start with **zfs.**, and options for **btrfs** start with **btrfs.**.
|
||||
|
||||
Specifically for devicemapper, the default is a "loopback" model which
|
||||
requires no pre-configuration, but is extremely inefficient. Do not
|
||||
use it in production.
|
||||
|
||||
To make the best use of Docker with the devicemapper backend, you must
|
||||
have a recent version of LVM. Use **lvm**(8) to create a thin pool; for
|
||||
more information, see **lvmthin**(7). Then, use **--storage-opt
|
||||
dm.thinpooldev** to tell the Docker engine to use that pool for
|
||||
allocating images and container snapshots.
|
||||
|
||||
## Devicemapper options
|
||||
|
||||
#### dm.thinpooldev
|
||||
|
||||
Specifies a custom block storage device to use for the thin pool.
|
||||
|
||||
If using a block device for device mapper storage, it is best to use `lvm`
|
||||
to create and manage the thin-pool volume. This volume is then handed to Docker
|
||||
to exclusively create snapshot volumes needed for images and containers.
|
||||
|
||||
Managing the thin-pool outside of Engine makes for the most feature-rich
|
||||
method of having Docker utilize device mapper thin provisioning as the
|
||||
backing storage for Docker containers. The highlights of the lvm-based
|
||||
thin-pool management feature include: automatic or interactive thin-pool
|
||||
resize support, dynamically changing thin-pool features, automatic thinp
|
||||
metadata checking when lvm activates the thin-pool, etc.
|
||||
|
||||
As a fallback if no thin pool is provided, loopback files are
|
||||
created. Loopback is very slow, but can be used without any
|
||||
pre-configuration of storage. It is strongly recommended that you do
|
||||
not use loopback in production. Ensure your Engine daemon has a
|
||||
`--storage-opt dm.thinpooldev` argument provided.
|
||||
|
||||
Example use:
|
||||
|
||||
$ dockerd \
|
||||
--storage-opt dm.thinpooldev=/dev/mapper/thin-pool
|
||||
|
||||
#### dm.directlvm\_device
|
||||
|
||||
As an alternative to manually creating a thin pool as above, Docker can
|
||||
automatically configure a block device for you.
|
||||
|
||||
Example use:
|
||||
|
||||
$ dockerd \
|
||||
--storage-opt dm.directlvm_device=/dev/xvdf
|
||||
|
||||
#### dm.thinp\_percent
|
||||
|
||||
Sets the percentage of passed in block device to use for storage.
|
||||
|
||||
Example:
|
||||
|
||||
$ sudo dockerd \
|
||||
--storage-opt dm.thinp_percent=95
|
||||
|
||||
#### dm.thinp\_metapercent
|
||||
|
||||
Sets the percentage of the passed in block device to use for metadata storage.
|
||||
|
||||
Example:
|
||||
|
||||
$ sudo dockerd \
|
||||
--storage-opt dm.thinp_metapercent=1
|
||||
|
||||
#### dm.thinp\_autoextend\_threshold
|
||||
|
||||
Sets the value of the percentage of space used before `lvm` attempts to
|
||||
autoextend the available space [100 = disabled]
|
||||
|
||||
Example:
|
||||
|
||||
$ sudo dockerd \
|
||||
--storage-opt dm.thinp_autoextend_threshold=80
|
||||
|
||||
#### dm.thinp\_autoextend\_percent
|
||||
|
||||
Sets the value percentage value to increase the thin pool by when `lvm`
|
||||
attempts to autoextend the available space [100 = disabled]
|
||||
|
||||
Example:
|
||||
|
||||
$ sudo dockerd \
|
||||
--storage-opt dm.thinp_autoextend_percent=20
|
||||
|
||||
#### dm.basesize
|
||||
|
||||
Specifies the size to use when creating the base device, which limits
|
||||
the size of images and containers. The default value is 10G. Note,
|
||||
thin devices are inherently "sparse", so a 10G device which is mostly
|
||||
empty doesn't use 10 GB of space on the pool. However, the filesystem
|
||||
will use more space for base images the larger the device
|
||||
is.
|
||||
|
||||
The base device size can be increased at daemon restart which will allow
|
||||
all future images and containers (based on those new images) to be of the
|
||||
new base device size.
|
||||
|
||||
Example use: `dockerd --storage-opt dm.basesize=50G`
|
||||
|
||||
This will increase the base device size to 50G. The Docker daemon will throw an
|
||||
error if existing base device size is larger than 50G. A user can use
|
||||
this option to expand the base device size however shrinking is not permitted.
|
||||
|
||||
This value affects the system-wide "base" empty filesystem that may already
|
||||
be initialized and inherited by pulled images. Typically, a change to this
|
||||
value requires additional steps to take effect:
|
||||
|
||||
$ sudo service docker stop
|
||||
$ sudo rm -rf /var/lib/docker
|
||||
$ sudo service docker start
|
||||
|
||||
Example use: `dockerd --storage-opt dm.basesize=20G`
|
||||
|
||||
#### dm.fs
|
||||
|
||||
Specifies the filesystem type to use for the base device. The
|
||||
supported options are `ext4` and `xfs`. The default is `ext4`.
|
||||
|
||||
Example use: `dockerd --storage-opt dm.fs=xfs`
|
||||
|
||||
#### dm.mkfsarg
|
||||
|
||||
Specifies extra mkfs arguments to be used when creating the base device.
|
||||
|
||||
Example use: `dockerd --storage-opt "dm.mkfsarg=-O ^has_journal"`
|
||||
|
||||
#### dm.mountopt
|
||||
|
||||
Specifies extra mount options used when mounting the thin devices.
|
||||
|
||||
Example use: `dockerd --storage-opt dm.mountopt=nodiscard`
|
||||
|
||||
#### dm.use\_deferred\_removal
|
||||
|
||||
Enables use of deferred device removal if `libdm` and the kernel driver
|
||||
support the mechanism.
|
||||
|
||||
Deferred device removal means that if device is busy when devices are
|
||||
being removed/deactivated, then a deferred removal is scheduled on
|
||||
device. And devices automatically go away when last user of the device
|
||||
exits.
|
||||
|
||||
For example, when a container exits, its associated thin device is removed. If
|
||||
that device has leaked into some other mount namespace and can't be removed,
|
||||
the container exit still succeeds and this option causes the system to schedule
|
||||
the device for deferred removal. It does not wait in a loop trying to remove a
|
||||
busy device.
|
||||
|
||||
Example use: `dockerd --storage-opt dm.use_deferred_removal=true`
|
||||
|
||||
#### dm.use\_deferred\_deletion
|
||||
|
||||
Enables use of deferred device deletion for thin pool devices. By default,
|
||||
thin pool device deletion is synchronous. Before a container is deleted, the
|
||||
Docker daemon removes any associated devices. If the storage driver can not
|
||||
remove a device, the container deletion fails and daemon returns.
|
||||
|
||||
`Error deleting container: Error response from daemon: Cannot destroy container`
|
||||
|
||||
To avoid this failure, enable both deferred device deletion and deferred
|
||||
device removal on the daemon.
|
||||
|
||||
`dockerd --storage-opt dm.use_deferred_deletion=true --storage-opt dm.use_deferred_removal=true`
|
||||
|
||||
With these two options enabled, if a device is busy when the driver is
|
||||
deleting a container, the driver marks the device as deleted. Later, when the
|
||||
device isn't in use, the driver deletes it.
|
||||
|
||||
In general it should be safe to enable this option by default. It will help
|
||||
when unintentional leaking of mount point happens across multiple mount
|
||||
namespaces.
|
||||
|
||||
#### dm.loopdatasize
|
||||
|
||||
**Note**: This option configures devicemapper loopback, which should not be
|
||||
used in production.
|
||||
|
||||
Specifies the size to use when creating the loopback file for the "data" device
|
||||
which is used for the thin pool. The default size is 100G. The file is sparse,
|
||||
so it will not initially take up this much space.
|
||||
|
||||
Example use: `dockerd --storage-opt dm.loopdatasize=200G`
|
||||
|
||||
#### dm.loopmetadatasize
|
||||
|
||||
**Note**: This option configures devicemapper loopback, which should not be
|
||||
used in production.
|
||||
|
||||
Specifies the size to use when creating the loopback file for the "metadata"
|
||||
device which is used for the thin pool. The default size is 2G. The file is
|
||||
sparse, so it will not initially take up this much space.
|
||||
|
||||
Example use: `dockerd --storage-opt dm.loopmetadatasize=4G`
|
||||
|
||||
#### dm.datadev
|
||||
|
||||
(Deprecated, use `dm.thinpooldev`)
|
||||
|
||||
Specifies a custom blockdevice to use for data for a Docker-managed thin pool.
|
||||
It is better to use `dm.thinpooldev` - see the documentation for it above for
|
||||
discussion of the advantages.
|
||||
|
||||
#### dm.metadatadev
|
||||
|
||||
(Deprecated, use `dm.thinpooldev`)
|
||||
|
||||
Specifies a custom blockdevice to use for metadata for a Docker-managed thin
|
||||
pool. See `dm.datadev` for why this is deprecated.
|
||||
|
||||
#### dm.blocksize
|
||||
|
||||
Specifies a custom blocksize to use for the thin pool. The default
|
||||
blocksize is 64K.
|
||||
|
||||
Example use: `dockerd --storage-opt dm.blocksize=512K`
|
||||
|
||||
#### dm.blkdiscard
|
||||
|
||||
Enables or disables the use of `blkdiscard` when removing devicemapper devices.
|
||||
This is disabled by default due to the additional latency, but as a special
|
||||
case with loopback devices it will be enabled, in order to re-sparsify the
|
||||
loopback file on image/container removal.
|
||||
|
||||
Disabling this on loopback can lead to *much* faster container removal times,
|
||||
but it also prevents the space used in `/var/lib/docker` directory from being
|
||||
returned to the system for other use when containers are removed.
|
||||
|
||||
Example use: `dockerd --storage-opt dm.blkdiscard=false`
|
||||
|
||||
#### dm.override\_udev\_sync\_check
|
||||
|
||||
By default, the devicemapper backend attempts to synchronize with the `udev`
|
||||
device manager for the Linux kernel. This option allows disabling that
|
||||
synchronization, to continue even though the configuration may be buggy.
|
||||
|
||||
To view the udev sync support of a Docker daemon that is using the
|
||||
devicemapper driver, run:
|
||||
|
||||
$ docker info
|
||||
[...]
|
||||
Udev Sync Supported: true
|
||||
[...]
|
||||
|
||||
When udev sync support is **true**, then devicemapper and udev can
|
||||
coordinate the activation and deactivation of devices for containers.
|
||||
|
||||
When udev sync support is **false**, a race condition occurs between the
|
||||
devicemapper and udev during create and cleanup. The race condition results
|
||||
in errors and failures. (For information on these failures, see
|
||||
[docker#4036](https://github.com/docker/docker/issues/4036))
|
||||
|
||||
To allow the docker daemon to start, regardless of whether udev sync is
|
||||
**false**, set **dm.override_udev_sync_check** to **true**:
|
||||
|
||||
$ dockerd --storage-opt dm.override_udev_sync_check=true
|
||||
|
||||
When this value is **true**, the driver continues and simply warns you the errors
|
||||
are happening.
|
||||
|
||||
**Note**: The ideal is to pursue a `docker` daemon and environment that does
|
||||
support synchronizing with `udev`. For further discussion on this topic, see
|
||||
[docker#4036](https://github.com/docker/docker/issues/4036).
|
||||
Otherwise, set this flag for migrating existing Docker daemons to a daemon with
|
||||
a supported environment.
|
||||
|
||||
#### dm.min\_free\_space
|
||||
|
||||
Specifies the min free space percent in a thin pool require for new device
|
||||
creation to succeed. This check applies to both free data space as well
|
||||
as free metadata space. Valid values are from 0% - 99%. Value 0% disables
|
||||
free space checking logic. If user does not specify a value for this option,
|
||||
the Engine uses a default value of 10%.
|
||||
|
||||
Whenever a new a thin pool device is created (during `docker pull` or during
|
||||
container creation), the Engine checks if the minimum free space is available.
|
||||
If the space is unavailable, then device creation fails and any relevant
|
||||
`docker` operation fails.
|
||||
|
||||
To recover from this error, you must create more free space in the thin pool to
|
||||
recover from the error. You can create free space by deleting some images and
|
||||
containers from tge thin pool. You can also add more storage to the thin pool.
|
||||
|
||||
To add more space to an LVM (logical volume management) thin pool, just add
|
||||
more storage to the group container thin pool; this should automatically
|
||||
resolve any errors. If your configuration uses loop devices, then stop the
|
||||
Engine daemon, grow the size of loop files and restart the daemon to resolve
|
||||
the issue.
|
||||
|
||||
Example use:: `dockerd --storage-opt dm.min_free_space=10%`
|
||||
|
||||
#### dm.xfs\_nospace\_max\_retries
|
||||
|
||||
Specifies the maximum number of retries XFS should attempt to complete IO when
|
||||
ENOSPC (no space) error is returned by underlying storage device.
|
||||
|
||||
By default XFS retries infinitely for IO to finish and this can result in
|
||||
unkillable process. To change this behavior one can set **xfs_nospace_max_retries**
|
||||
to e.g. **0** and XFS will not retry IO after getting ENOSPC and will shutdown
|
||||
filesystem.
|
||||
|
||||
Example use:
|
||||
|
||||
$ sudo dockerd --storage-opt dm.xfs_nospace_max_retries=0
|
||||
|
||||
##### dm.libdm\_log\_level
|
||||
|
||||
Specifies the maxmimum libdm log level that will be forwarded to the dockerd
|
||||
log (as specified by **--log-level**). This option is primarily intended for
|
||||
debugging problems involving libdm. Using values other than the defaults may
|
||||
cause false-positive warnings to be logged.
|
||||
|
||||
Values specified must fall within the range of valid libdm log levels. At the
|
||||
time of writing, the following is the list of libdm log levels as well as their
|
||||
corresponding levels when output by dockerd.
|
||||
|
||||
| libdm Level | Value | --log-level |
|
||||
| ------------- | -----:| ----------- |
|
||||
| \_LOG\_FATAL | 2 | error |
|
||||
| \_LOG\_ERR | 3 | error |
|
||||
| \_LOG\_WARN | 4 | warn |
|
||||
| \_LOG\_NOTICE | 5 | info |
|
||||
| \_LOG\_INFO | 6 | info |
|
||||
| \_LOG\_DEBUG | 7 | debug |
|
||||
|
||||
Example use:
|
||||
|
||||
$ sudo dockerd \
|
||||
--log-level debug \
|
||||
--storage-opt dm.libdm_log_level=7
|
||||
backends that currently take options are **zfs** and **btrfs**.
|
||||
Options for **zfs** start with **zfs.**, and options for **btrfs** start
|
||||
with **btrfs.**.
