* `dm.basesize`
Specifies the size to use when creating the base device, which limits the
size of images and containers. The default value is 100G. Note, thin devices
are inherently "sparse", so a 100G device which is mostly empty doesn't use
100 GB of space on the pool. However, the filesystem will use more space for
size of images and containers. The default value is 10G. Note, thin devices
are inherently "sparse", so a 10G device which is mostly empty doesn't use
10 GB of space on the pool. However, the filesystem will use more space for
the empty case the larger the device is.
The base device size can be increased at daemon restart which will allow
all future images and containers (based on those new images) to be of the
new base device size.
Example use:
$ docker daemon --storage-opt dm.basesize=50G
This will increase the base device size to 50G. The Docker daemon will throw an
error if existing base device size is larger than 50G. A user can use
this option to expand the base device size however shrinking is not permitted.
This value affects the system-wide "base" empty filesystem
that may already be initialized and inherited by pulled images. Typically,
a change to this value requires additional steps to take effect:
