Aren't we going to have to call it /var/lib/containers/moby pretty soon?

Also rm -rf /var/lib/docker in a devicemapper world is not a good idea. 
You end up in a strange world which could leak devices and resources.


atomic storage reset

Is the preferred way.

Is this still an issue after the current partition scheme moves to 
OverlayFS?

In Fedora Atomic Host if we use system containers as advertised
we end up using `atomic pull --storage ostree` which by default
throws images into /var/lib/containers/atomic/. This is on the
root filesystem which may be undesirable.

Since in Fedora 26 the new version of container-storage-setup allows
us greater control over a "CONTAINER_ROOT" should we consider trying
to make sure both ostree storage and docker storage get placed under
that CONTAINER_ROOT?

The current default [1] is to just mount the CONTAINER_ROOT on
/var/lib/docker.

If we move the link under /var/lib/containers/docker then removing this 
would not affect /var/lib/containers/ostree or /var/lib/containers/storage

Perhaps we should just mount a partition at /var or move /var/lib/docker 
to /var/lib/containers/docker and make a symbolic link from 
/var/lib/docker-> /var/lib/containers/docker.
