I'd like to support this suggestion. I also had to add "--storage-
driver=overlay" to DOCKER_OPTS in "/etc/default/docker".

At the same time it would be nice to demote "aufs-tools" from Recommends to 
Suggests.

Also perhaps we should consider to add "--exec-opt 
native.cgroupdriver=cgroupfs" as per #798784 and #798778.

Bug#799087: docker.io: Should use overlay storage backend by default

[Sam Morris]

Package: docker.io
Version: 1.7.1~dfsg1-1
Severity: normal

The Debian kernel packages have dropped the aufs patch since 3.19, and
there is no package of the out-of-tree module.

I had to add '-o overlay' to DOCKER_OPTS in /etc/default/docker in order
to get the service to start. overlayfs is included in the upstream
kernel, so perhaps this should be set by default?
