M'm having an issue with a growing data file that is getting too large in my centos7 server. Links to similar issues i've seen: https://github.com/docker/docker/issues/3182

This link suggests stopping docker, deleting the data file and turning back on docker: Why is docker image eating up my disk space that is not used by docker

Will deleting the data loop file destroy my existing container data? Or images? What does this file do?

I can also add more diskspace to this server, but it seems like padding the issue instead of solving whats going on:

Docker Version: Client version: 1.4.1 Client API version: 1.16 Go version (client): go1.3.3 Git commit (client): 5bc2ff8 OS/Arch (client): linux/amd64 Server version: 1.4.1 Server API version: 1.16 Go version (server): go1.3.3

  • you can manually remove the images with the docker rmi blabla command and the container with the docker rm blabla I know that is not safe etc but most of the time i just use docker rm $(docker ps -aq) when the container that I want to keep are running For the images that actually doesn't work like that but when I'm in trouble I just eliminate all and re download them – Luca Bruzzone Aug 09 '15 at 13:49
  • @luca: But removing containers and images won't release the disk space. That's the whole issue here. – Toby Feb 07 '16 at 19:52
