backport of #1484 for 19.03
The
aufs
storage driver is deprecated in favor ofoverlay2
, and willbe removed in a future release. Users of the
aufs
storage driver arerecommended to migrate to a different storage driver, such as
overlay2
, whichis now the default storage driver.
The
aufs
storage driver facilitates running Docker on distros that have nosupport for OverlayFS, such as Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, which originally shipped with
a 3.14 kernel.
Now that Ubuntu 14.04 is no longer a supported distro for Docker, and
overlay2
is available to all supported distros (as they are either on kernel 4.x, or have
support for multiple lowerdirs backported), there is no reason to continue
maintenance of the
aufs
storage driver.Signed-off-by: Sebastiaan van Stijn [email protected]
