Plan for Btrfs? #1

Hi, Is there a plan to support Btrfs in the future? Is it even possible to do it without Aufs?

Thanks!

I'd have to look into how docker uses btrfs.. it's probably possible. Honestly the "right answer" here is probably for me to dig into the actual docker codebase and figure out what it would take to PR them something like a docker isolate command. When I wrote this hack I wasn't sure if small containers was a thing other people actually cared about, but at this point I think I'm convinced it is. I'll dig into it when I get some time, and see how they react to the idea. They may not be depending on their roadmap etc.. at which point I guess I'll fall back to properly maintaining skinnywhale until they make it irrelevant.
