Squid Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Settings - Docker. Stop the service Hit the checkbox and delete the existing image Change Docker - data root from BTRFS vdisk to XFS vdisk Re-enable the service Apps - Previous Apps, check off what you want installed and hit install 2 1 Quote Link to comment
Jokerigno Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 What are the main changes when switching Docker data-root? In help there's no explanation. Quote Link to comment
Squid Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 From BTRFS <--> XFS, really no difference From image to a folder, then multiple advantages. No pre-defined space, the "image" grows and shrinks according to usage. In theory, the least amount of writes to the drive, and would also be the fastest access method, although in practice you would never see the difference. Quote Link to comment
Thorsten Gehrig Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 I have removed my cache drive (disk was broken) and moved the docker image to the main pool - hence from brass to xfs. The image is still xfs. Does that matter? (I have also some instability... and wonder if this could be a root cause). Beside that: any advise how to convert? I don't want to re-buil all my docker (there are still several settings manually made and not backuped for separate restore) Best Thorsten Quote Link to comment
