Is this going to be merged to v18.09? |
Let me mark this "WIP" for now; there were concerns about AuFS still being too widely in use to mark it deprecated already 😕 |
What's the concern in just marking it deprecated? It's not a removal. |
The `aufs` storage driver is deprecated in favor of `overlay2`, and will be removed in a future release. Users of the `aufs` storage driver are recommended to migrate to a different storage driver, such as `overlay2`, which is now the default storage driver. The `aufs` storage driver facilitates running Docker on distros that have no support 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.

Updated to reflect that it's in 19.03, not 18.09 |
