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.

README.md
The non-reference docs have been moved!
The documentation for Docker Engine has been merged into the general documentation repo.
See the README for instructions on contributing to and building the documentation.
If you'd like to edit the current published version of the Engine docs, do it in the master branch here: https://github.com/docker/docker.github.io/tree/master/engine
If you need to document the functionality of an upcoming Engine release,
use the vnext-engine branch:
https://github.com/docker/docker.github.io/tree/vnext-engine/engine
The reference docs have been left in docker/docker (this repo), which remains the place to edit them.
The docs in the general repo are open-source and we appreciate your feedback and pull requests!
