'Docker overlay2 disk usage
I have a problem with overlay2 disk usage
When I executing df -h, I have 222G used disk space:
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/docker-docker 264G 222G 43G 85% /docker
When I executing du -shc *, in /docker directory, I have 36G used disk space:
17G containers
14M image
256K network
19G overlay2
0 plugins
0 swarm
0 tmp
0 trust
32K volumes
36G total
Why such difference in used disk space?
PS if I restart docker, disk space freed up
PSS I don't have 'Exited' containers, and unused images/volume
Solution 1:[1]
du command somehow counts space multiple times. I think it depends on fact that each docker directory is a separate mount.
For analyzing disk space you can use docker system df command.
Please read documentation about.
Also, you can read this discussion about analyzing disk space.
