Being deprecated in https://github.com/balena-os/meta-balena/pull/2397
We currently default to the
aufs
storage driver for hostapps and balena-engine.Since moby 19.03 (https://github.com/moby/moby/pull/38090) which the latest balena-engine releases are based off, the
aufs
storage driver has been marked as deprecated. Additionally, future OS work will actively depend onoverlayfs
.These are the currently supported device types that are still running
aufs
:New device types have for a while been introduced with
overlayfs
enabled, but we need a migration path for the above device types. Updates to an OS release that switches tooverlayfs
would require all images to be redownloaded/containers recreated.To get around that, balena-engine (as of https://github.com/balena-os/balena-engine/pull/168) includes a migration step, which moves the data from one storage driver to the other.
