Re: [atomic-devel] Docker project: Can you have overlay2 speed and density with devicemapper? Yep.



​If a user specifies read-only in their podspec...what does that translate to (it might be a distro-specific question).  IMO the --shared-rootfs should be the default when --read-only is specified, but it's not atm.

Vivek has implemented it for devicemapper first.  But the intent is that it will be added to most or all graph drivers, including overlay/overlay2.  It has the most benefit on devicemapper or btrfs which have unique inodes per container.

*What* do you intend to surface to users? IIUC, this discussion is specific to device mapper storage drivers right?

Hi,

Vivek Goyal (cc) and I were discussing ways to deliver page cache sharing, POSIX compliance and SELinux support with a single docker graph driver, using existing kernel facilities.  We decided to go with a bind-mount technique, and Vivek has posted a first cut here:  https://github.com/docker/docker/pull/27364

Testing of the prototype looks like a great improvement:

Assuming this type of feature is merged in a container run-time, what preference would Kube folks have for surfacing this to users ... currently it's a daemon runtime flag that says ... if you use --read-only then you get the shared-rootfs as well.  Obviously this requires "12factor-ish" design up front, because you can no longer scribble in the container filesystem in places that are not persistent volumes, but we think read-only container hygiene is well worth the security and performance improvements to be had.
