Multi-FS Supporting in Overlaybd

February 9, 2022 ยท View on GitHub

Convert OCI Image into overlaybd with Specified File System

You can specify file system when converting OCI Image into overlaybd with --fstype options.

For example:

sudo bin/ctr obdconv --fstype "xfs" registry.hub.docker.com/library/redis:6.2.1 localhost:5000/redis:6.2.1_obd_xfs

Push the generated overlaybd image to registry, then pull the uploaded image with rpull as described in EXAMPLES.

Mount/Mkfs options

It's supported to use different options to mount/mkfs for specified file system.

Specify mount/mkfs options in --fstype option, for example, --fystype "fstype;mount_opt_1,mount_opt_2;mkfs_opt_1 mkfs_opt_2". If only file system type is given, we use default mount/mkfs option to fulfill better performance.

  • Override Default Options

It's valid to override default mount/mkfs options.
